IPSEC VPN client

[scharffchristelle]

Hi

I am running a Window server 2008 in the cloud and need to  connect using IPSEC to a server that is configured with CISCO ASA 5540.

What vpn client would be compatible?

How to get access to it?

What is the price?

We are a small company specialized in mobile applications. We have no contract with CISCO and are not a partner.

Also where is the doc online?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

I am not to sure  I understand your requirements   ,  you  have windows server that needs to connect to a far end server  using  the Cisco VPN client , and far end has ASA5540 firewall  also acting as a VPN RA  gateway ?   if so  who controls the far end ASA5540 firewall, they should have provided you with the VPN client version you could use  and perhaps provide you with the software  to connect to them, you can however  try using any Cisco VPN client versoin 5.x   .

What vpn client would be compatible?

You can try using  the latest version  release May 2011   http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/prod_release_notes_list.html

How to get access to it?

What is the price?

We are a small company specialized in mobile applications. We have no contract with CISCO and are not a partner.

Generally  you  can aquire the software through active Service contract  via CCO loging  and be able to download the software  , but since you indicated that you do not have one I would suggest to either contact the far end admin who manages the ASA5540 firewall  see if they can provide you with the  VPN client software , or  you can also directly  contact Cisco  TAC  services   and see what they can do  for you regarding downloading the VPN client    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html 

Also where is the doc online?

Docs on Cisco VPN client software versions - configuration  - release notes etc.. can be found here

Hi Chris,

At this time, we do not currently test with Windows 2008 server.
We have no reason to believe that it will not work but we have not tested with this platform.

  There are no current plans to support this platform with the IPSec VPN Client. The AnyConnect SSL VPN Client does support this platform.

Hope this helps.

Anisha
