VPN license for Catalyst 8500 series

[Network-giiig]

Hello,

I have a Cisco Catalyst 8500L-8S4X router and I want it to support VPN (Ethernet and SSL), which type of license do I need to purchase ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi  Network-giiig,

I will recommend you to check the following documentation:

Especially this part related to the VPN support.

About the VPN license the C8500 network stack licenses or dna licenses, considering that i will recommend you to check the following documentation:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/cloud_edge/c8500/software-configuration-guide/c8500-software-config-guide/m-available-licenses.html

There you can find the the guides for using and ordering considerations for DNA licenses, either way my advise will be to check with your reseller since in this case any of those license will enable the securityk9 feature allowing you to configure VPN S2S tunnels and FlexVPN.

Hope this info helps!
