Remote Access VPN in ASA5520 need to change default gateway

[michael.walk1]

Hi,

I am trying to configure Remote Access VPN on my ASA5520 using the legacy Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440.

I have a pool of addresses for the VPN, they will use 192.168.2.33 through 192.168.2.40

I can get connected and I do get a correct IP address, but I need the gateway address changed.  The gateway it always gives me is 192.168.2.1, however the IP address of the ASA is 192.168.2.254.

How can I change this so that the gateway it gives me is x.x.x.254 instead of x.x.x.1?

We probably could give better answers if we understood more about your environment and about what your issue really is. In particular what is 192.168.2.254? And what problem is it causing if the gateway is not 254?

In my experience using the traditional client it has always worked that the client uses the ASA as the gateway next hop even when that might not look like the assigned gateway.

Hi Michael,

The gateway address on your VPN adapter is being assigned is only a virtual and it has no significant to routing, beside your vpn-pool range and any interface on your ASA do not need to be in the same subnet range.

As long as you do correct nat exemption between vpn-client pool range and subnets ranges that vpn-client need access to, the default-gateway address is insignificant and newer version of vpn-client has no default gateway is assigned. 

Hope that answers your question.

thanks
