Site to site vpn question

[phaseshift]

Currently I have a PIX 501 at my main site. We are opening another site in two weeks that needs vpn access to the main site and planning on geting another PIX 501 for the remote site . My question is... is the PIX 501 going to handle a site to site vpn and remote access vpn ok or should a go with another PIX tier.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, the 501 will handle up to 10 simultaneous VPN's. The only issue you may face is the throughput - only 3 Mbps with 3DES.

That, and the 501 is not a high end network hardware device..

if you are running a large ACL (for internet use and LAN use) and are also running VPN, it may not give you the desired results you'd like.
