ASA DMVPN for Azure Cloud

erwee1973

Hello,

It looks like one of our customers need to buy ISR's to connect to the Azure cloud from Microsoft via DMVPN, since Cisco ASA doesn't support it (yet).

Will ASA support this in nearby future release?

Anybody has eventually suggestions? (Apart from not using Azure ;-)

Based on comments from Cisco representatives in the DMVPN/FlexVPN sessions at Cisco Live!, there's no plan to support DMVPN/FlexVPN on ASA. This may have changed since then, but I doubt it.

Infrastructure VPNs are slowly but surely moving away from the simple policy-based IPSec VPNs that the ASA supports to more modern and flexible route-based VPNs like DMVPN and FlexVPN. The key phrase here is "route-based", which puts the technology firmly into the purview of routers rather than security appliances.

The ASA units are very good at what they do, but modern infrastructure VPNs are just a bit beyond their scope.
