Hello friend
Welcome to my video
We practice with a small example like above
This video describes how to configure Remote Access VPN on Cisco Asa
The default selected interface is outside which is where we want to configure this VPN
I will be using the Cisco VPN client
The information that we configure on the screen above is the same that we will configure on the VPN client.
In this case, I have configured a tunnel group name of NETVN-VPN and a pre-shared key of 123456
This client authentication is an added security measure
Because we specified that we want to use the local database for client authentication,
the wizard prompts us to add usernames if we want
Notice that I already have the cisco user but I will add another user with username and password of user01
When a user connects using the VPN client,
he/she will be assigned an IP address from an IP address pool that you configure.
This is one of the reasons to have a remote access VPN
because it makes remote users become “part” of the internal network.
I will click on the new button to add a local IP pool
On the next screen, after adding the IP address pool,
we can configure settings such as DNS servers and domain name that will be pushed to the client once it connects
The wizard gives us the option of performing a NAT exemption so that all internal networks will be visible to remote users without any translation
The next screen is the summary screen
As above
At this point we still have the option of going back to make changes if necessary
Now I will configure my Cisco VPN client with the VPN group details
Let's now attempt to connect to that VPN by clicking on the connect
If your VPN is set up correctly, you should get a user authentication dialog box
as above
I will authenticate with the user01 username that we created
If you are successfully authenticated the VPN client should automatically minimize
You can check the details by navigating to Status > Statistics
Notice that we have been assigned an IP address from the local pool we configured
We can see that I successfully connected to the LAN
