We have a project of connecting 30+ remote parking gates to our PCI private network(MPLS L3VPN in our case). These parking gates will not have direct ethernet connection, nor within our campus wireless coverage. So we are thinking of using 3G celluar network like Verizon, ATT etc to have network connection, then using VPN to tunnel the traffic from these gates to our existing PCI private network.
If we have a dedicated ASA, we could do LAN-to-LAN tunnel with either Cisco ISR 880 3G or any Digi WAN VPN family, but we are concerned about the provisioning and managing over 30 LAN-to-LAN tunnels. And shared ASA will not be able to isolate the traffic to PCI private network. Is there any device which can do integrated VPN client and 3G? EOS Cisco 3002 VPN hardware client could do the first requirement, but not the second one. 3G requirement is obvious. The reason for integrated VPN client is for easy management and traffic steering. If we can have a VPN client on the device to initiate a VPN connection to our Cisco VPN server, then NAT LAN connection thru the obtained VPN address, We just need a VPN group for all of these parking gates. If we use Lan-to-Lan tunnel, then the management overhead is much higher compared with VPN client. Doing VPN client, we can use our existing VPN server to steer the traffic thru the MPLS L3VPN for PCI client with PIX/ASA: Multiple VPN Group Clients to use Different VLANs after Connecting to a Security Appliance Configuration Example. Any thought on any device with integrated VPN client and 3G? Or what will you do with similar project?
