Question regarding VPNs on 5510

[robert.brady]

Hi there,

I have a customer who is migrating from a Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator to an ASA 5510 for their VPN connections.

All users are connecting to a group name  at present on the 3000 which has a space in it.  On the ASA when I am trying to do this am the ASA will only accept a group name with no spaces in it.  Is there any workaround which will enable us to use spaces in the group name on the ASA?

Can I have some advice on why it is not possible to have a space in the group name?  Why have Cisco removed this functionality?

Thanks,

Rob

Rob

have you tried putting the name between double quotes?

i.e.

tunnel-group "my group" type remote-access

Herbert,

Thanks so much for this.  I have now successfully created the VPN.  Things like this always seem so obvious when I get the answer! D'oh!

Rgds,
Rob
