Number of VPN tunnels on 506E

Mar 20, 2006 2 Replies

Quick question.



We have a PIX 506E, and we have 3 site - site VPNS between that unit and some 871s and a single 851. We would like to start having users remotely connect via VPN. How many vpn sessions can the pix 506E take?



I read somewhere that you can only have 4 VPN tunnels at a time, that seems low.



Thanks!

The limit of 4 was on peers, and was in 5.x. By 6.3 it was raised to

25 peers.

"peer" definitely applies to IPSec, including the use of EzVPN (normal for the Cisco VPN client software). It is not hinted in the documentation as to whether PPTP counts.
