Ignat Sitnikov

Level 1

Hello,

I have just purchased a Cisco 891-k9. I have purchased it to learn how to configure site to site VPNs. Below are my "sh version" and "sh license". Can somebody explain to me whether I have the ability to set up VPN. Also, if somebody can point me in a right direction where I can find out what exact features does my IOS and license support. I have bought this router used and not aware what image and license come on the brand new router. Thank you!

According to the product data sheet, the default license is Advanced IP services. This appears to be what you have. The IPS and SSL VPN feature is a license upgrade.

You should be able to build an IPSec tunnel with another router by following the CLI steps in the Configuration Guide. You can also do it via the GUI by using Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP). Many first time users struggle quite a bit using only the CLI - I'd suggest using te GUI and then analyzing the resultant configuration script to understand the various components of a VPN configuration

The whole point was to learn how to use firewall features and learn how to configure site to stie VPN using CLI. I have spoke with Cisco support today and I need to purchase securityk9 license to support 3des which is gonna cost more than i have aready spent on this router. Iam sending it back for a refund...It's a shame...Very nice router...

I have same model router, 15.x AdvIPServices code, and licensing.

I have it operating with IPSec just fine, with users connecting using the Cisco VPN Client software.

SSL VPN requires a licensing upgrade.

This video helped a lot in setting up the IPSec

My biggest stumbling block is always mixing up the:

IPSec Group and Password (Phase 1)

and the

Username and Password (Phase 2)
