ASA 5505 Capabilities

sitechcisco · ‎12-08-2011

Just acquired a 5505. Before I rip out what little hair remains on my head - thought I'd ask if this is even possible.

Goal:

Site-to-Site VPN with our local office to Main Office (both on different static IPs - only our side uses the 5505)

[Main Office ] <<< >>> {cloud} <<<>>> [ADSL Model] <<< >>> [Cisco 5505} <<< >>> [local office private subnet]

AND - Use Easy VPN to remote into the 5505 when we are out of the local office and possibly gain access back to Main office.

So - is this doable?

Provided your "outside" static IP's are internet-accessable (I.E. not on a private MPLS cloud or something similar) then yes, it should be.

The exact methods of your Anyconnect/Site to site VPN's will depend on your licensing levels - you need to license AnyConnect (easyVPN) based on the number of users, and you may also need to license encryption beyond single DES (56 bit).
