ASA 8.02 to Cisco 837 with RADIUS config

Hi all,

I need to know if this is technically possible and if so how, I have been tasked with configuring a VPN to an ASA appliance. This is already configured and running, using RADIUS for authentication. What I need to do is configure an 837 to talk to the ASA.

Thing is with the 837, it will not be handling the internet connection, it needs to plug in to a COTS router, get an IP from the router and just handle the VPN side of things, and the only ports to pass data are 1732 and 3389.

I will paste VPN config of the ASA

aaa-server windows-radius protocol radius
aaa-server windows-radius host 192.168.x.x
timeout 5
key PASSWORD
radius-common-pw PASSWORD
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL

crypto ipsec transform-set myset esp-3des esp-md5-hmac

Thanks for your help

It sounds like what you're asking is that you have a remote-access VPN connecting to an ASA, and now you want to add an 837 to also talk to the ASA. This is fine, and can be configured to work. However, your commands don't look like they will work for this. You don't say what version of IOS you're running, but take a look at the following link showing a 12.4 example configuration, and pay particular attention to the configuration for Router B. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/products_configuration_example09186a008032b637.shtml

Jmeggers,

Sorry for that....

The ASA is running 8.0(2) and the 837 is running a c837-k9o3y6-mz.123-2.xe3.bin IOS

The ASA is running a split tunnel also but I am hazy on that side of things...

John Meggers

The split tunnel just means that the configuration that's pushed to the client allows Internet-bound traffic to bypass the tunnel. I'm not very familiar with the specific code on the 837 but it shouldn't be much different from the example link I posted. The example is IOS to IOS but the 837 side should be about the same as in the example. There's another example at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080808395.shtml

Thanks mate,

I will have a play tonight with the 837, I guess my confusion came from the fact that the ASA has no pre shared key, so I have to introduce that in to the ASA and then configure that key on the 837? How does RADIUS come in to play with this?
