WebVPN in PIX515 v7.2

[h.xia]

I tried to enable webvpn on my pix by running webvpn command on the config mode, but I received "invalid input" error message. What needed to be done before turning on the webvpn feature?

Thanks,

Hang

I suspect that the webvpn feature is not available on PIX hardware. It is available only for ASA appliances.

I believe that a reason could be that this feature requires too much hardware resources for the old PIXes.

Thanks for the response! I later found out that this is caused by the license. For ASA, there is webvpn license (for 2 users) comes with the box. But for PIX which is upgraded from 6.x, we need to pay extra for the webvpn license.
