Scenario 5: ASA 5505 Deployed as a Hardware VPN
Client
78-17612-02
In this scenario, an ASA 5505 is deployed as a hardware client (sometimes called
a remote device). Deploying one or more VPN hardware clients in conjunction
with a VPN headend device enables companies with multiple sites to establish
secure communications among them and share network resources.
Deploying an Easy VPN solution with hardware clients simplifies the deployment
and management of a VPN in the following ways:
Hosts at remote sites no longer have to run VPN client software.
•
Security policies reside on a central server and are pushed to the remote
•
hardware clients when a VPN connection is established.
• Few configuration parameters need to be set locally, minimizing the need for
on-site administration.
Figure 2-6 illustrates how the different Easy VPN components can be deployed.
