Dude!
One thing to keep in mind is that ISA is always RFC compliant. I spent two weeks with the ISA firewall team in Haifa, and they are insane about being RFC compliant. Cisco isn't, since they think they own the space. ISA is definitely the most secure VPN server you can implement. However, it's not the best performer. Cisco, while not RFC compliant, performs better when connecting with other Cisco VPN servers/gateways. However, given the BIG overhead you pay for Cisco, you can mitigate the performance issues by implementing and ISA firewall arrays.

We have an ISA 2004 license, and I pretty familiar with that side of it, but I tried to setup a vpn today from the isa to asa and just get some failures about no-proposal-chosen on the asa side. Looking for logging in the cisco when your not a cisco 'guy' is like brushing your teeth with a knife. I have done a few isa-cisco's before without much trouble but I was always given the config from the cisco side. I know I have everything set right and technically it should work but its just not and Im thinking its something not configured right on the ASA side. maybe Ill just dump asa for 2 isa boxes ... *things that make you go hmmm* ________________________________ From: Roger Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 2:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: ASA VPN device I wasn't directly involved in the configuration, but we have an external VPN connection from a Linksys router to our ASA. It works - most of the time - but has been less than rock-solid. The Linksys requires rebooting whenever the connection gets dropped. Roger Wright From: Benjamin Zachary - Lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 2:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: ASA VPN device Anyone know if any of the cheap(er) firewall devices can do a vpn with a Cisco ASA device? Im thinking a Linksys could do it (ie Cisco) but I didn't see mention of it specifically. I have a client that needs a temporary setup while they move offices, and instead of spending the cash on a device to be used for two weeks was hoping to find something on the low end.
