Restart VPN service in ASA55xx

[ajaykumar1981]

Hi,

Recently i faced a problem with Anyconnect VPN service on ASA firewall running with IOS version 8.3. Users were not able to connect the VPN.

After reboot the firewall the vpn service resumed, users were able to connect through VPN.

My question is "is there any way to stop and restart the VPN service only without rebooting firewall???"

Hi ajaykumar1981,

You can stop the service (considering all the sessions currently working are going to stop) by using the following commands:

webvpn

no enable <outside>

enable outside

In this case i will definitely recommend you to set up some logs so you can actually find out what is going on instead of just dropping all the AnyConnect users and having them connecting again.

You can use the following logging:

no logging buffered 

logging class svc 7

With this logging you are going to make sure the logging is only taking AnyConnect logs.

Hope this info helps!!

Rate if helps you!!
