L2TP win7 / win8 to cisco ASA 5505
Hi all,
I am trying to get a windows vpn connection into cisco ASA 5505.
I was originally told it was not possible by our contractor who originally set it up (2/3 years ago), but lately I have had to sort a few bits out through the visual tool (adsm 5.2) and wanted to give it another go.
We currently have vpn setup and working using the cisco tool, but with 64bit I think we have a beta version that we have to use, which doesn't always put you inside the network as such, also as we used win vpn with previous router, I get top brass constantly asking when we can go back to that!!!
ideally I want a simple way to VPN using windows client and have seen that people have examples which I have tried to copy as closely as possible but with no success.
Has anyone achieved this and is there a basic setup I can follow (and not the one that involves references to a radius server as I have followed this to no avail)
I would hopefully be able to do this through the viaual ASDM tool as I am not connected via serial. It is also a functioning LIVE system so need to be carefull with any experiments!!
Our setup is as follows
ASA Version: 7.2(4)
ADSM Version: 5.2(4)
Firewall Mode: Routed
Total Flash: 128 MB
Device Type: ASA 5505
Context Mode: Single
Total Memory: 512 MB
Thank You

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
IPsec/l2tp support was added a long time ago before 7.2. The process to configure should be broadly the same. ASDM should follow the same steps, but using a different interface.
To access the cli, you can use telnet (not reccomended), ssh or a console cable. PuTTY or TeraTerm are both free tools that can do serial, telnet, ssh & more.

I have had a quick look at the link and noticed the versions are newer than what I am running
Cisco ASA5505 version 8.4(3)and ASDM version 6.4(7).
Is there a simple way of updating the versions and keeping settings or will I have to start from scratch if I update?
Also I have not connected to the ASA direct, I tend to use ASDM. Would I need to get a direct connection via serial and run some other software to connect?
Thank you
