validation-policy (crypto ca trustpoint)
To specify the conditions under which a trustpoint can be used to validate the certificates associated with an incoming user connection, use the validation-policy command in crypto ca trustpoint configuration mode. To specify that the trustpoint cannot be used for the named condition, use the no form of the command.
[no] validation-policy {ssl-client | ipsec-client} [no-chain] [subordinate-only]
Syntax Description
ipsec-client
|
Specifies that the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and policy associated with the trustpoint can be used to validate IPsec connections.
|
no-chain
|
Disables the chaining of subordinate certificates that are not resident on the security device.
|
ssl-client
|
Specifies that the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and policy associated with the trustpoint can be used to validate SSL connections.
|
subordinate-only
|
Disables validation of client certificates issued directly from the CA represented by this trustpoint.
|
Defaults
No default value or behavior.

Usage Guidelines
Remote-access VPNs can use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN, IP Security (IPsec), or both, depending on deployment requirements, to permit access to virtually any network application or resource. The validation-policy command allows you to specify the protocol type permitted to access on-board CA certificates.
The no-chain option with this command prevents a security applicance from supporting subordinate CA certificates that are not configured as trustpoints on the security appliance.
The security appliance can have two trustpoints with the same CA resulting in two different identity certificates from the same CA. This option is disabled automatically if the trustpoint is authenticated to a CA that is already associated with another trustpoint that has enabled this feature. This prevents ambiguity in the choice of path-validation parameters. If the user attempts to activate this feature on a trustpoint that has been authenticated to a CA already associated with another trustpoint that has enabled this feature, the action is not permitted. No two trustpoints can have this setting enabled and be authenticated to the same CA.
Examples
The following example enters crypto ca trustpoint configuration mode for trustpoint, central, and designates it an SSL trustpoint:
hostname(config)# crypto ca trustpoint central
hostname(config-ca-trustpoint)# validation-policy ssl
hostname(config-ca-trustpoint)#
The following example enters crypto ca trustpoint configuration mode for trustpoint, checkin1,and sets it to accept certificates that are subordinate to the specified trustpoint.
hostname(config)# crypto ca trustpoint checkin1
hostname(config-ca-trustpoint)# validation-policy subordinates-only
hostname(config-ca-trustpoint)#

This command was introduced to replace the client-types command.
|
Usage Guidelines
When there are multiple trustpoints associated with the same CA certificate, only one of the trustpoints can be configured for a specific client type. However, one of the trustpoints can be configured for one client type and the other trustpoint with another client type.
If there is a trustpoint associated with the same CA certificate that is already configured with a client type, the new trustpoint is not allowed to be configured with the same client-type setting. The no form of the command clears the setting so that a trustpoint cannot be used for any client validation.
Remote access VPNs can use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN, IP Security (IPsec), or both, depending on deployment requirements, to permit access to any network application or resource.

Usage Guidelines
In a VDI model, administrators publish desktops pre-loaded with enterprise applications, and end users remotely access these desktops. These virtualized resources appear just as any other resources, such as email, so that users do not need to go through a Citrix Access Gateway to access them. Users log onto the ASA using Citrix Receiver mobile client, and the ASA connects to a pre-defined Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop Server. The administrator must configure the Citrix server's address and logon credentials under Group Policy so that when users connect to their Citrix Virtualized resource, they enter the ASA's SSL VPN IP address and credentials instead of pointing to the Citrix Server's address and credentials. When the ASA has verified the credentials, the receiver client starts to retrieve entitled applications through the ASA.
Supported Mobile Devices

iPad—Citrix Receiver version 4.x or later
•
iPhone/iTouch—Citrix Receiver version 4.x or later

• disk1:/[path/]filename
This option is only available for the ASA 5500 series, and indicates the external Flash memory card.
• flash:/[path/]filename
This option indicates the internal Flash card. For the ASA 5500 series, flash is an alias for disk0:.
• ftp://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename[;type=xx]
The type can be one of the following keywords:
– ap—ASCII passive mode
– an—ASCII normal mode
– ip—(Default) Binary passive mode
– in—Binary normal mode
• http[s]://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename
• tftp://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename[;int=interface_name]
Specify the interface name if you want to override the route to the server address.
The pathname cannot contain spaces. If a pathname has spaces, set the path in the tftp-server command instead of in the verify command.
|
Defaults
The current flash device is the default file system.
Note
When you specify the /md5 option, you can use a network file, such as ftp, http and tftp as the source. The verify command without the /md5 option only lets you verify local images in Flash.

Usage Guidelines
Use the verify command to verify the checksum of a file before using it.
Each software image that is distributed on disk uses a single checksum for the entire image. This checksum is displayed only when the image is copied into Flash memory; it is not displayed when the image file is copied from one disk to another.
Before loading or duplicating a new image, record the checksum and MD5 information for the image so that you can verify the checksum when you copy the image into Flash memory or onto a server. A variety of image information is available on Cisco.com.
To display the contents of Flash memory, use the show flash command. The Flash contents listing does not include the checksum of individual files. To recompute and verify the image checksum after the image has been copied into Flash memory, use the verify command. Note, however, that the verify command only performs a check on the integrity of the file after it has been saved in the file system. It is possible for a corrupt image to be transferred to the ASA and saved in the file system without detection. If a corrupt image is transferred successfully to the ASA, the software will be unable to tell that the image is corrupted and the file will verify successfully.
To use the message-digest5 (MD5) hash algorithm to ensure file validation, use the verify command with the /md5 option. MD5 is an algorithm (defined in RFC 1321) that is used to verify data integrity through the creation of a unique 128-bit message digest. The /md5 option of the verify command allows you to check the integrity of the security appliance software image by comparing its MD5 checksum value against a known MD5 checksum value for the image. MD5 values are now made available on Cisco.com for all security appliance software images for comparison against local system image values.
To perform the MD5 integrity check, issue the verify command using the /md5 keyword. For example, issuing the verify /md5 flash:cdisk.bin command will calculate and display the MD5 value for the software image. Compare this value with the value available on Cisco.com for this image.
Alternatively, you can get the MD5 value from Cisco.com first, then specify this value in the command syntax. For example, issuing the verify /md5 flash:cdisk.bin 8b5f3062c4cacdbae72571440e962233 command will display a message verifying that the MD5 values match or that there is a mismatch. A mismatch in MD5 values means that either the image is corrupt or the wrong MD5 value was entered.
Examples
The following example shows the verify command used on an image file called cdisk.bin. Some of the text was removed for clarity:
hostname# verify cdisk.bin
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Done!
Embedded Hash MD5: af5a155f3d5c128a271282c33277069b

7.2(1)
|
This command was deprecated because the inline basic HTTP authentication method used in prior releases was replaced by the redirection method; this command was no longer needed.
|
7.2(2)
|
This command was revived because you can now choose between using basic HTTP authentication (the default) or using HTTP redirection using the aaa authentication listener command. The redirection method does not require an extra command for cascading HTTP authentications.
|
Usage Guidelines
When you use HTTP authentication on the ASA (see the aaa authentication match or the aaa authentication include command), the ASA uses basic HTTP authentication by default. You can change the authentication method so that the ASA redirects HTTP connections to web pages generated by the ASA itself using the aaa authentication listener command with the redirect keyword.
However, if you continue to use basic HTTP authentication, then you might need the virtual http command when you have cascading HTTP authentications.
If the destination HTTP server requires authentication in addition to the ASA, then the virtual http command lets you authenticate separately with the ASA (via a AAA server) and with the HTTP server. Without virtual HTTP, the same username and password you used to authenticate with the ASA is sent to the HTTP server; you are not prompted separately for the HTTP server username and password. Assuming the username and password is not the same for the AAA and HTTP servers, then the HTTP authentication fails.
This command redirects all HTTP connections that require AAA authentication to the virtual HTTP server on the ASA. The ASA prompts for the AAA server username and password. After the AAA server authenticates the user, the ASA redirects the HTTP connection back to the original server, but it does not include the AAA server username and password. Because the username and password are not included in the HTTP packet, the HTTP server prompts the user separately for the HTTP server username and password.
For inbound users (from lower security to higher security), you must also include the virtual HTTP address as a destination interface in the access list applied to the source interface. Moreover, you must add a static command for the virtual HTTP IP address, even if NAT is not required (using the no nat-control command). An identity NAT command is typically used (where you translate the address to itself).
For outbound users, there is an explicit permit for traffic, but if you apply an access list to an inside interface, be sure to allow access to the virtual HTTP address. A static statement is not required.
Note
Do not set the timeout uauth command duration to 0 seconds when using the virtual http command, because this setting prevents HTTP connections to the real web server.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable virtual HTTP along with AAA authentication:
hostname(config)# virtual http 209.165.202.129
hostname(config)# access-list ACL-IN extended permit tcp any host 209.165.200.225 eq http
hostname(config)# access-list ACL-IN remark This is the HTTP server on the inside
hostname(config)# access-list ACL-IN extended permit tcp any host 209.165.202.129 eq http
hostname(config)# access-list ACL-IN remark This is the virtual HTTP address
hostname(config)# access-group ACL-IN in interface outside

Usage Guidelines
Although you can configure network access authentication for any protocol or service (see the aaa authentication match or aaa authentication include command), you can authenticate directly with HTTP, Telnet, or FTP only. A user must first authenticate with one of these services before other traffic that requires authentication is allowed through. If you do not want to allow HTTP, Telnet, or FTP through the ASA, but want to authenticate other types of traffic, you can configure virtual Telnet; the user Telnets to a given IP address configured on the ASA, and the ASA provides a Telnet prompt.
You must configure authentication for Telnet access to the virtual Telnet address as well as the other services you want to authenticate using the authentication match or aaa authentication include command.
When an unauthenticated user connects to the virtual Telnet IP address, the user is challenged for a username and password, and then authenticated by the AAA server. Once authenticated, the user sees the message "Authentication Successful." Then, the user can successfully access other services that require authentication.
For inbound users (from lower security to higher security), you must also include the virtual Telnet address as a destination interface in the access list applied to the source interface. Moreover, you must add a static command for the virtual Telnet IP address, even if NAT is not required (using the no nat-control command). An identity NAT command is typically used (where you translate the address to itself).
For outbound users, there is an explicit permit for traffic, but if you apply an access list to an inside interface, be sure to allow access to the virtual Telnet address. A static statement is not required.
To logout from the ASA, reconnect to the virtual Telnet IP address; you are prompted to log out.
Examples
This example shows how to enable virtual Telnet along with AAA authentication for other services:
hostname(config)# virtual telnet 209.165.202.129
hostname(config)# access-list ACL-IN extended permit tcp any host 209.165.200.225 eq smtp

Usage Guidelines
You can only assign a single VLAN to a subinterface, and not to the physical interface. Each subinterface must have a VLAN ID before it can pass traffic. To change a VLAN ID, you do not need to remove the old VLAN ID with the no option; you can enter the vlan command with a different VLAN ID, and the ASA changes the old ID.
You need to enable the physical interface with the no shutdown command to let subinterfaces be enabled. If you enable subinterfaces, you typically do not also want the physical interface to pass traffic, because the physical interface passes untagged packets. Therefore, you cannot prevent traffic from passing through the physical interface by bringing down the interface. Instead, ensure that the physical interface does not pass traffic by leaving out the nameif command. If you want to let the physical interface pass untagged packets, you can configure the nameif command as usual.
The maximum number of subinterfaces varies depending on your platform. See the CLI configuration guide for the maximum subinterfaces per platform.
Examples
The following example assigns VLAN 101 to a subinterface:
hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/0.1
hostname(config-subif)# vlan 101
hostname(config-subif)# nameif dmz1
hostname(config-subif)# security-level 50
hostname(config-subif)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config-subif)# no shutdown
The following example changes the VLAN to 102:
hostname(config)# show running-config interface gigabitethernet0/0.1
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1
ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/0.1
hostname(config-interface)# vlan 102
hostname(config)# show running-config interface gigabitethernet0/0.1
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1
ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0

Usage Guidelines
This command specifies the egress VLAN interface for sessions assigned to this group policy. The ASA forwards all traffic on this group to that VLAN. You can assign a VLAN to each group policy to simplify access control. Use this command as an alternative to using ACLs to filter traffic on a session.
Examples
The following command assigns the VLAN 1 to the group policy:
hostname(config-group-policy)# vlan 1
hostname(config-group-policy)
The following command removes VLAN mapping from the group policy:
hostname(config-group-policy)# vlan none
hostname(config-group-policy)

vpdn group
To create or edit a vpdn group and configure PPPoE client settings, use the vpdn group command in global configuration mode. To remove a group policy from the configuration, use the no form of this command.
vpdn group group_name {localname username | request dialout pppoe | ppp authentication
{chap | mschap | pap}}
no vpdn group group_name {localname name | request dialout pppoe | ppp authentication
{chap | mschap | pap}}
Note
PPPoE is not supported when failover is configured on the ASA, or in multiple context or transparent mode. PPPoE is only supported in single, routed mode, without failover.
Syntax Description
vpdn group group_name
|
Specifies a name for the vpdn group
|
localname username
|
Links the user name to the vpdn group for authentication, and must match the name configured with the vpdn username command.
|
request dialout pppoe
|
Specifies to allow dialout PPPoE requests.
|
ppp authentication {chap | mschap | pap}}
|
Specifies the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) authentication protocol. The Windows client dial-up networking settings lets you specify what authentication protocol to use (PAP, CHAP, or MS-CHAP). Whatever you specify on the client must match the setting you use on the security appliance. Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) lets PPP peers authenticate each other. PAP passes the host name or username in clear text. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) lets PPP peers prevent unauthorized access through interaction with an access server. MS-CHAP is a Microsoft derivation of CHAP. PIX Firewall supports MS-CHAP Version 1 only (not Version 2.0).
If an authentication protocol is not specified on the host, do not specify the ppp authentication option in your configuration.

Usage Guidelines
Virtual Private Dial-up Networking (VPDN) is used to provide long distance, point-to-point connections between remote dial-in users and a private network. VDPN on the security appliance uses the Layer 2 tunnelling technology PPPoE to establish dial-up networking connections from the remote user to the private network across a public network.
PPPoE is the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over Ethernet. PPP is designed to work with network layer protocols such as IP, IPX, and ARA. PPP also has CHAP and PAP as built-in security mechanisms.
The show vpdn session pppoe command displays session information for PPPOE connections. The clear configure vpdn group command removes all vpdn group commands from the configuration and stops all the active L2TP and PPPoE tunnels. The clear configure vpdn username command removes all the vpdn username commands from the configuration.
Because PPPoE encapsulates PPP, PPPoE relies on PPP to perform authentication and ECP and CCP functions for client sessions operating within the VPN tunnel. Additionally, PPPoE is not supported in conjunction with DHCP because PPP assigns the IP address for PPPoE.
Note
Unless the VPDN group for PPPoE is configured, PPPoE cannot establish a connection.
To define a VPDN group to be used for PPPoE, use the vpdn group group_name request dialout pppoe command. Then use the pppoe client vpdn group command from interface configuration mode to associate a VPDN group with a PPPoE client on a particular interface.
If your ISP requires authentication, use the vpdn group group_name ppp authentication {chap | mschap | pap} command to select the authentication protocol used by your ISP.
Use the vpdn group group_name localname username command to associate the username assigned by your ISP with the VPDN group.
Use the vpdn username username password password command to create a username and password pair for the PPPoE connection. The username must be a username that is already associated with the VPDN group specified for PPPoE.
Note
If your ISP is using CHAP or MS-CHAP, the username may be called the remote system name and the password may be called the CHAP secret.
The PPPoE client functionality is turned off by default, so after VPDN configuration, enable PPPoE with the ip address if_name pppoe [setroute] command. The setroute option causes a default route to be created if no default route exists.
As soon as PPPoE is configured, the security appliance attempts to find a PPPoE access concentrator with which to communicate. When a PPPoE connection is terminated, either normally or abnormally, the security appliance attempts to find a new access concentrator with which to communicate.
The following ip address commands should not be used after a PPPoE session is initiated because they will terminate the PPPoE session:
•
ip address outside pppoe, because it attempts to initiate a new PPPoE session.
•
ip address outside dhcp, because it disables the interface until the interface gets its DHCP configuration.
•
ip address outside address netmask, because it brings up the interface as a normally initialized interface.
Examples
The following example creates a vdpn group telecommuters and configures the PPPoE client:
F1(config)# vpdn group telecommuters request dialout pppoe
F1(config)# vpdn group telecommuters localname user1
F1(config)# vpdn group telecommuters ppp authentication pap
F1(config)# vpdn username user1 password test1
F1(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/1
F1(config-subif)# ip address pppoe setroute

Usage Guidelines
If you choose DHCP, you should also use the dhcp-network-scope command to define the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can use. You must use the dhcp-server command to indicate the IP addresses that the DHCP server uses.
If you choose local, you must also use the ip-local-pool command to define the range of IP addresses to use. You then use the vpn-framed-ip-address and vpn-framed-netmask commands to assign IP addresses and netmasks to individual users.
With the local pool, you can use the reuse-delay delay option to adjust the delay before a released IP address can be reused. Increasing the delay prevents problems firewalls may experience when an IP address is returned to the pool and reassigned quickly.
If you choose AAA, you obtain IP addresses from either a previously configured RADIUS server.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure DHCP as the address assignment method:
hostname(config)#
vpn-addr-assign dhcp

Usage Guidelines
The AnyConnect client supports session resumption for SSL and IKEv2 connection. With this capability, end user devices can go into sleep mode, lose their WiFi, or any of the like and resume the same connection upon return.
Examples
The following example shows how to set a VPN idle timeout of 15 minutes for the group policy named "FirstGroup":
hostname(config)#
group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)#
vpn-idle-timeout 30
The security appliance uses the default-idle-timeout value if no idle timeout is defined for a user, if the vpn-idle-timeout value is 0, or if the value does not fall into the valid range.
Related Commands
default-idle-timeout
|
Specifies the global WebVPN default idle timeout.

vpn load-balancing
To enter vpn load-balancing mode, in which you can configure VPN load balancing and related functions, use the vpn load-balancing command in global configuration mode.
vpn load-balancing
Note
To use VPN load balancing, you must have an ASA 5510 with a Plus license or an ASA 5520 or higher. VPN load balancing also requires an active 3DES/AES license. The security appliance checks for the existence of this crypto license before enabling load balancing. If it does not detect an active 3DES or AES license, the security appliance prevents the enabling of load balancing and also prevents internal configuration of 3DES by the load balancing system unless the license permits this usage.

A load-balancing cluster can include security appliance models 5510 (with a Plus license), or ASA 5520 and above. You can also include VPN 3000 Series Concentrators in the cluster. While mixed configurations are possible, administration is generally simpler if the cluster is homogeneous.
Use the vpn load-balancing command to enter vpn load-balancing mode. The following commands are available in vpn load-balancing mode:
•
cluster encryption
•
cluster ip address
•
cluster key
•
cluster port
•
interface
•
nat
•
participate
•
priority
•
redirect-fqdn
See the individual command descriptions for detailed information.
Examples
The following is an example of the vpn load-balancing command; note the change in the prompt:
hostname(config)# vpn load-balancing
hostname(config-load-balancing)#
The following is an example of a VPN load-balancing command sequence that includes an interface command that specifies the public interface of the cluster as "test" and the private interface of the cluster as "foo":
hostname(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/1
hostname(config-if)# ip address 209.165.202.159 255.255.255.0
hostname(config)# nameif test
hostname(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/2
hostname(config-if)# ip address 209.165.201.30 255.255.255.0

Usage Guidelines
Enter 0 to disable login and prevent user access.
Note
While the maximum limit for the number of simultaneous logins is very large, allowing several simultaneous logins could compromise security and affect performance.
Stale AnyConnect, IPsec Client, or Clientless sessions (sessions that are terminated abnormally) might remain in the session database, even though a "new" session has been established with the same username.
If the value of vpn-simultaneous-logins is 1, and the same user logs in again after an abnormal termination, then the stale session is removed from the database and the new session is established. If, however, the existing session is still an active connection and the same user logs in again, perhaps from another PC, the first session is logged off and removed from the database, and the new session is established.
If the number of simultaneous logins is a value greater than 1, then, when you have reached that maximum number and try to log in again, the session with the longest idle time is logged off. If all current sessions have been idle an equally long time, then the oldest session is logged off. This action frees up a session and allows the new login.
Examples
The following example shows how to allow a maximum of 4 simultaneous logins for the group policy named FirstGroup:
hostname(config)#
group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)#
vpn-simultaneous-logins 4
vpn-tunnel-protocol
To configure a VPN tunnel type (IPsec with IKEv1 or IKEv2, L2TP over IPsec, SSL, or clientless SSL), use the vpn-tunnel-protocol command in group-policy configuration mode or username configuration mode. To remove the attribute from the running configuration, use the no form of this command.
vpn-tunnel-protocol {ikev1 ikev2 l2tp-ipsec ssl-client ssl-clientless}
no vpn-tunnel-protocol {ikev1 ikev2 l2tp-ipsec ssl-client ssl-clientless}

|
Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA 5505 running as an Easy VPN hardware client (also called "Easy VPN Remote").
By default, the Easy VPN client and server encapsulate IPsec in User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets. Some environments, such as those with certain firewall rules, or NAT and PAT devices, prohibit UDP. To use standard Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP, Protocol 50) or Internet Key Exchange (IKE, UDP 500) in such environments, you must configure the client and the server to encapsulate IPsec within TCP packets to enable secure tunneling. If your environment allows UDP, however, configuring IPsec over TCP adds unnecessary overhead.
If you configure an ASA 5505 to use TCP-encapsulated IPsec, enter the following command to let it send large packets over the outside interface:
hostname(config)# crypto ipsec df-bit clear-df outside
This command clears the Don't Fragment (DF) bit from the encapsulated header. A DF bit is a bit within the IP header that determines whether the packet can be fragmented. This command lets the Easy VPN hardware client send packets that are larger than the MTU size.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the Easy VPN hardware client to use TCP-encapsulated IPsec, using the default port 10000, and to let it send large packets over the outside interface:
hostname(config)#
vpnclient ipsec-over-tcp
hostname(config)# crypto ipsec df-bit clear-df outside
The next example shows how to configure the Easy VPN hardware client to use TCP-encapsulated IPsec, using the port 10501, and to let it send large packets over the outside interface:
hostname(config)#
vpnclient ipsec-over-tcp port 10501
hostname(config)# crypto ipsec df-bit clear-df outside
vpnclient mac-exempt
To exempt devices behind an Easy VPN Remote connection from individual user authentication requirements, use the vpnclient mac-exempt command in global configuration mode. To remove the attribute from the running configuration, use the no form of this command.
vpnclient mac-exempt mac_addr_1 mac_mask_1 [mac_addr_2 mac_mask_2...mac_addr_n
mac_mask_n]
no vpnclient mac-exempt
Syntax Description
mac_addr_1
|
MAC address, in dotted hexadecimal notation, specifying a manufacturer and serial number of a device for which to exempt individual user authentication. For more than one device, specify each MAC address, separating each with a space and the respective network mask.
The first 6 characters of the MAC address identify the device manufacturer, and the last 6 characters are the serial number. The last 24 bits are the unit's serial number in hexadecimal format.
|
mac_mask_1
|
Network mask for the corresponding MAC address. Use a space to separate the network mask and any subsequent MAC address and network mask pairs.
|
Defaults
No default behavior or values.

Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA 5505.
Devices such as Cisco IP phones, wireless access points, and printers are incapable of performing authentication, and therefore do not authenticate when individual unit authentication is enabled. If individual user authentication is enabled, you can use this command to exempt such devices from authentication. The exemption of devices from individual user authentication is also called "device pass-through."
The format for specifying the MAC address and mask in this command uses three hex digits, separated by periods; for example, the MAC mask ffff.ffff.ffff matches just the specified MAC address. A MAC mask of all zeroes matches no MAC address, and a MAC mask of ffff.ff00.0000 matches all devices made by the same manufacturer.
Note
You must have Individual User Authentication and User Bypass configured on the headend device. For example, if you have the ASA as the headend, configure the following under group policy:
hostname(config-group-policy)# user-authentication enable
hostname(config-group-policy)# ip-phone-bypass enable
Examples
Cisco IP phones have the Manufacturer ID 00036b, so the following command exempts any Cisco IP phone, including Cisco IP phones, you might add in the future:
hostname(config)#
vpnclient mac-exempt 0003.6b00.0000 ffff.ff00.0000
The next example provides greater security but less flexibility because it exempts one specific Cisco IP phone:
hostname(config)#
vpnclient mac-exempt 0003.6b54.b213 ffff.ffff.ffff
vpnclient management
To generate IPsec tunnels for management access to the Easy VPN hardware client, use the vpnclient management command in global configuration mode.
vpnclient management tunnel ip_addr_1 ip_mask_1 [ip_addr_2 ip_mask_2...ip_addr_n
ip_mask_n]
vpnclient management clear
To remove the attribute from the running configuration, use the no form of this command, which sets up IPsec tunnels exclusively for management in accordance with the split-tunnel-policy and split-tunnel-network-list commands.
no vpnclient management
Syntax Description
clear
|
Uses normal routing to provide management access from the corporate network to the outside interface of the ASA 5505 running as an Easy VPN Client. This option does not create management tunnels.
Note Use this option if a NAT device is operating between the client and the Internet.
|
ip_addr
|
IP address of the host or network for which to build a management tunnel from the Easy VPN hardware client. Use this argument with the tunnel keyword. Specify one or more IP addresses, separating each with a space and the respective network mask.
|
ip_mask
|
Network mask for the corresponding IP address. Use a space to separate the network mask and any subsequent IP address and network mask pairs.
|

Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA 5505 running as an Easy VPN Client (also called "Easy VPN Remote"). It assumes the ASA 5505 configuration contains the following commands:
vpnclient server to specify the peer.
vpnclient mode to specify the client mode (PAT) or network extension mode.
One of the following:
•
vpnclient vpngroup to name the tunnel group and the IKE pre-shared key used for authentication on the Easy VPN server.
•
vpnclient trustpoint to name the trustpoint identifying the RSA certificate to use for authentication
vpnclient enable to enable the ASA 5505 as an Easy VPN Client.
Note
The public address of an ASA 5505 behind a NAT device is inaccessible unless you add static NAT mappings on the NAT device.
Note
Regardless of your configuration, DHCP requests (including renew messages) should not flow over IPsec tunnels. Even with a vpnclient management tunnel, DHCP traffic is prohibited.
Examples
The following example shows how to generate an IPsec tunnel from the outside interface of the ASA 5505 to the host with the IP address/mask combination 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0:
hostname(config)#
vpnclient management tunnel 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
The following example shows how to provide management access to the outside interface of the ASA 5505 without using IPsec:
hostname(config)# vpnclient management clear
vpnclient mode
To configure the Easy VPN Remote connection for either client mode or network extension mode, use the vpnclient mode command in global configuration mode. To remove the attribute from the running configuration, use the no form of this command.
vpnclient mode {client-mode | network-extension-mode}
no vpnclient mode
Syntax Description
client-mode
|
Configures the Easy VPN Remote connection to use client mode (PAT).

|
Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA 5505 running as an Easy VPN Client (also called "Easy VPN Remote). The Easy VPN Client supports one of two modes of operation: client mode or NEM. The mode of operation determines whether the inside hosts, relative to the Easy VPN Client, are accessible from the Enterprise network over the tunnel. Specifying a mode of operation is mandatory before making a connection because Easy VPN Client does not have a default mode.
•
In client mode, the Easy VPN client performs port address translation (PAT) for all VPN traffic from its inside hosts. This mode requires no IP address management for either the inside address of the hardware client (which has a default RFC 1918 address assigned to it) or the inside hosts. Because of PAT, the inside hosts are not accessible from the enterprise network.
•
In NEM, all nodes on the inside network and the inside interface are assigned addresses routable across the enterprise network. The inside hosts are accessible from the enterprise network over a tunnel. Hosts on the inside network are assigned IP addresses from an accessible subnet (statically or through DHCP). PAT is not applied to the VPN traffic when in network extension mode.
Note
If the Easy VPN hardware client is using NEM and has connections to secondary servers, use the crypto map set reverse-route command on each headend device to configure dynamic announcements of the remote network using Reverse Route Injection (RRI).
Examples
The following example shows how to configure an Easy VPN Remote connection for client mode:
hostname(config)#
vpnclient mode client-mode
The following example shows how to configure an Easy VPN Remote connection for NEM:
hostname(config)#

Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA 5505 running as an Easy VPN Client (also called "Easy VPN Remote").
Before entering the vpnclient nem-st-autoconnect command, ensure that network extension mode is enabled for the hardware client. Network extension mode lets hardware clients present a single, routable network to the remote private network over the VPN tunnel. IPsec encapsulates all traffic from the private network behind the hardware client to networks behind the ASA. PAT does not apply. Therefore, devices behind the ASA have direct access to devices on the private network behind the hardware client over the tunnel, and only over the tunnel, and vice versa. The hardware client must initiate the tunnel. After the tunnel is up, either side can initiate data exchange.
Note
You must also configure the Easy VPN server to enable network extension mode. To do so, use the nem enable command in group-policy configuration mode.
IPsec data tunnels are automatically initiated and sustained when in network extension mode, except when split-tunneling is configured.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure an Easy VPN Remote connection to automatically connect in network extension mode with split-tunneling configured. Network extension mode is enabled for the group policy FirstGroup:
hostname(config)#
group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)
# nem enable
hostname(config)#
vpnclient nem-st-autoconnect

Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA model 5505.
A server must be configured before a connection can be established. The vpnclient server command supports IPv4 addresses, the names database, or DNS names and resolves addresses in that order.
You can use either the IP address or the hostname of a server.
Examples
The following example associates the name headend-1 with the address 10.10.10.10 and uses the vpnclient server command to specify three servers: headend-dns.example.com (primary), headend-1 (secondary), and 192.168.10.10 (secondary):
hostname(config)# 10.10.10.10 headend-1
hostname(config)# vpnclient server headend-dns.example.com headend-1 192.168.10.10
The following example shows how to configure a VPN client primary IPsec server with the IP address 10.10.10.15 and secondary servers with the IP addresses 10.10.10.30 and 192.168.10.45.
hostname(config)#
vpnclient server 10.10.10.15 10.10.10.30 192.168.10.10
vpnclient trustpoint
To configure the RSA identity certificate to be used by the Easy VPN Remote connection, use the vpnclient trustpoint command in global configuration mode. To remove the attribute from the running configuration, use the no form of this command.
vpnclient trustpoint trustpoint_name [chain]
no vpnclient trustpoint
Syntax Description
chain
|
Sends the entire certificate chain.
|
trustpoint_name

Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the ASA model 5505 and only when using digital certificates.
Define the trustpoint using the crypto ca trustpoint command. A trustpoint represents a CA identity and possibly a device identity, based on a certificate issued by the CA. The commands within the trustpoint sub mode control CA-specific configuration parameters which specify how the ASA obtains the CA certificate, how the ASA obtains its certificate from the CA, and the authentication policies for user certificates issued by the CA.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure an Easy VPN Remote connection to use the specific identity certificate named central and to send the entire certificate chain:
hostname(config)# crypto ca trustpoint central
hostname(config)#
vpnclient trustpoint central chain
