VLANs/VPN on PIX 506e

Sep 02, 2006 0 Replies

Good morning



We currently have a Cisco PIX 506e connected to a couple of managed



3Com switches. We also have a PIX-PIX VPN to our HQ in Africa, and users can VPN to the network using the VPN client on their Windows XP laptop.


I'd like to implement VLAN's on our network.


We're going to upgrade to 6.3(4) to faciliate this.

However, quoting from the document;


"When 506 and 506E are used as VPN hardware clients, logical interfaces



on the 506/506E cannot be used to initiate a VPN tunnel."


Does this mean that we would be unable to carry on with our PIX-PIX VPN



to HQ, or is there a way around this?


Many thanks in advance
