ASA VPN Example

by

Can we generate ASA Site to Site VPN configuration in this software.

Hi, It certainly can. Please download an example file from http://download.gen-it.net/Gen.IT_ASA-VPN.rar (The example files will be included in releases post 2.4.565)

Extract it into the application folder and add it to Gen.IT by selecting it under the ‘Settings->Select Excel Data Files’

This is an example based on the Cisco doc found here : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/cloud-systems-management/configuration-professional/112153-ccp-vpn-asa-router-config-00.html

Maximum devices, templates, variables

by

Can you please elaborate on what the maximum number of devices allowed refers to? Is this the total number of devices I can put in the Excel sheet to generate configurations for? What if I have multiple templates with different devices in each templates. Is it a cumulative number shared between templates, or is it per template at time of generation?

1st off, the license figures refer to a per spreadsheet limit. There is no restriction on the number of spreadsheets that can be referenced.
For a standard licence, Gen.IT will import up to 20 devices, 50 templates and 150 variables when selecting/loading the spreadsheet, there is no restriction on the number of rows per spreadsheet.
Assuming each row of the spreadsheet refers to a site/office/building:
  • Each site can be associated with up to 20 devices
  • Each device can be include up to 50 templates
  • Each template can reference up to 150 unique variables.
 
Example:
 
    • Site 1 (NewYork Office) may have a 2 x 3900 core routers and 2 x 3750 layer 3 switches 
      • Device S1CoreRouterPri, templates:
        • 3x00_Base

        • Variable : Vlan1HSRP_IP
        • Variable : Vlan2Secondary_IP
        • Variable : Vlan2HSRP_IP
 
    • Site 3 (Boston Office) may have a 1 x 3800 core routers and 1 x 3750 layer 2 switches
      • Device S3CoreRouter, templates:
        • 3x00_Base
          • Variable : Hostname
          • Variable : MgntIP
        • 3800_Interfaces
        • 3x00_Security
        • 3x00_QoS
        • 3800_Router
          • Variable : Router1toSwitch1_IP
      • Device S3Switch, templates:
        • 3750_Base
          • Variable : Hostname
          • Variable : MgntIP
        • 3750_Interfaces
        • 3750_Security
        • 3750_SwitchL2
          • Variable : Switch1toRouter1_IP
          • Variable : Vlan1Primary_IP
          • Variable : Vlan2Primary_IP
So you would need the following devices:
  • CoreRouterPri
  • CoreRouterSec
  • SwitchPri
  • SwitchSec
With the following templates:
  • 3x00_Base
  • 3x00_QoS
  • 3800_Interfaces
  • 3900_Interfaces
  • 3900_RouterPri
  • 3900_RouterSec
  • 3800_RouterPri
  • 3800_RouterSec
  • 3800_Router
  • 3750_Base
  • 3750_Interfaces
  • 3750_Security
  • 3750_SwitchL3Pri
  • 3750_SwitchL3Sec
  • 3750_SwitchL2
With the following Variables:
  • Hostname
  • MgntIP
  • Router1toSwitch1_IP
  • Router1toRouter2_IP
  • Router2toSwitch2_IP
  • Router2toRouter1_IP
  • Switch1toRouter1_IP
  • Switch1toSwitch2_IP
  • Vlan1Primary_IP
  • Vlan1Secondary_IP
  • Vlan1HSRP_IP
  • Vlan2Primary_IP
  • Vlan2Secondary_IP
  • Vlan2HSRP_IP
  • Switch2toRouter2_IP
  • Switch2toSwitch1_IP
So the above setup requires 4 devices, 15 templates, and 16 variables. Additional sites identical to Sites 1,2 or 3 would all use the same devices, templates and variables.
