Pix 506e as PPTP server

Mar 20, 2006 1 Replies

I haven't setup a PIX as a VPN server before. Hope to setup PPTP



I have found a sample config to follow, just some extra questions.



Is there any special licensing I need for VPN connections. I take it the device handles up to 25 clients without any extra licensing burdens.



I can just use windows default PPTP connection wizard, dont need the cisco vpn client?


No. There are only two different licenses available for the

506E: one with 3DES (and AES for 6.3+) support, and the other without. And there is no cost for the 3DES/AES license: whether you can get it or not is determined by legal formalities.

Every other model of PIX 5xx (other than the 506 non-E) has additional licensing options, but not the 506/506E.
