FWSM, multiple context and VPN

Hi,

I'd like to run a multiple context configuration on my FWSM but I don't know if it's possible to use it with VPN too.

In other words, is the VPN supported on a FWSM that is using multi-context feature?

Thanks in advance,

The FWSM doesn't support VPN's at all, in single or multiple mode. Actually it does support IPSec but only to create a management connection to the FWSM, not for passing encrypted traffic through it. The VPNSM provides IPSec encryption/decryption functions within the Cat6K chassis.

Well,

then maybe can I use the MSFC in order to do a VPN?

Thanks again,

Marco
