Introducing New VPN Resources to Answer Output,
Security, and Configuration Questions
____________________________________________
Dear Cisco Customer,
In response to recent customer inquiries, the Cisco Technical
Assistance Center has updated the TAC Web Site to provide new
and expanded Virtual Private Network (VPN) resources.
Three new Cisco VPN resources provide information to fix VPN and
PIX(R) configuration errors, document IP Security (IPSec)
compatibilities, and illustrate PIX Firewall configurations.
Enhancements to the Output Interpreter let you paste your PIX
configuration into the tool via a "write term." The Output
Interpreter tool checks for common VPN configuration errors in
addition to regular PIX configuration errors.
The Output Interpreter can be found at:

A new Tech Note uses a matrix format to show the versions of
Cisco hardware/software that support IP Sec/Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol (IPSec/PPTP), including the following:
* Cisco IOS(R) Software Releases 12.0.7T and later
* Cisco VPN 3000 and 5000 Concentrators
* Cisco Secure PIX Firewall and PIX Firewall Software 5.0.x through 6.0.x
* Cisco Secure VPN Client 1.0 and 1.1
* Cisco VPN Client 2.5 and later
* Microsoft Windows 9.x, ME, NT 4.0, and 2000
* Solaris 2.6
* Linux 2.2.14
* Mac OS 9
The matrix can be found at:

A new sample configuration provides information on configuring Cisco
Secure PIX Firewall 6.0.x and Cisco VPN 3000 Clients using IPSec.
The sample configuration shows two different versions of VPN 3000
clients connecting and encrypting traffic with the Cisco Secure PIX
Firewall as the tunnel endpoint. The configuration is based on PIX
Software Release 6.0.1, and Cisco VPN 3000 Client Versions 2.5 and 3.0.
The Sample Configuration can be found at:

We hope you find these TAC Web Site resources helpful.
Sincerely,
Cisco TAC
