number of client VPN possible in ASA5505-SEC-BUN-K9

[jackie1983]

One of our clients needs to have a ASA firewall with VPN connectivity for 25 users. Is ASA5505 enough for that? Any additional licenses has to be purchased or not to allow 25 users to work concurrently from outside?

Please help

The absolute maximum VPN peers a 5505 can do is 25. This is the same number for IPSec VPN or SSL VPN connections (or combined if thats how you have it configured - i.e. 10 IPSec and 15 SSL). You need to have the appropriate license though and these aren't cheap...

25 IPSEC/ SSL tunnels on a 5505 - I would have thought it would turn itself inside out with that load. Its only a little branch office device.

I would buy something a little bigger - 5510

If Im honest we stopped using the ASA as they tend to overheat and be a bit unreliable in busy situations. We only use Watchguard now.

I would use an XTM33 or rackmount XTM330. Much easier to use with optional UTM bundles.
