VPN on ASA 5520 with multi-security context?

[frbachel05]

Hello,

Is it true that multi-security context on ASA5520 does not support VPN?

My research seems to confirm that it is not possible...

Thanks in advance for your help

You are correct.Multi-context ASA cannot do VPN.

I hope it clarifies it.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Just FYI, with a 2 context license you can only have 2, including the admin. You can always remove the admin and make one of your context the admin context using the command "admin-context".

Are you sure?

I asked in another post: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2057788?tstart=0

It seems that the context admin can be used like one more context like others two.

You can use it as a traffic context.

Or you can delete it and use another one as the admin (practically renaming the admin).

Still you can have 2 maximum.

Let us know if it answers your question.

Hi,

What do you want to say by "You can use it as a traffic context" ?

I don't understand.

Thank you in advance

I meant a context that passes traffic and is not just for management.

I hope it answers your question.
