ASA VPN load-balancing
vpn load-balancing (VCA) (PIX 7.0 does not support, as well as more than ASA5520 support only) (does not support A / A)
vpn load-balancing of the remote client only to initialize the following conversation valid (as well as remote vpn only able to provide easy vpn load)
• Cisco VPN Client (Release 3.0 and later)
• Cisco VPN 3 002 Hardware Client (Release 3.5 or later)
• Cisco PIX 501/506E when acting as an Easy VPN client.
Load balancing works with both IPSec clients and WebVPN sessions. All other clients, including
LAN-to-LAN connections, can connect to a security appliance on which load balancing is enabled, but
they cannot participate in load balancing.
Principle
VCA need to create a remote connection by the virtual IP address, the cluster will be the main equipment to deal with the initial connection, inspection of the load cluster members, and sent back a load of cluster members in the lowest members of the physical IP address, the remote will then connected to the physical IP address, a cluster if a member of the failure, the remote should be able to use the DPD aware of this problem quickly, and then re-connect to the virtual IP address in order to be able to be redirected to the other cluster a member of the
Attention!!! ASA must be allowed to VCA information contained in any udp9023 interface via ACL and ASA activities must have a 3DES/AES license, and if not, any have been built in the ASA configuration will be ignored VCA
VCA in the ASA, including the establishment of some order

cluster ip address virtual_ip_address — the definition of a virtual IP. remote device will use this address as the server address EASYVPN
cluster port port_ # — load balancing is the default port number udp 9023, you can use this command to change the words to all members of the need for change
default cluster encryption — all cluster members of the VCA to send an express message, the command to start the VCA encryption
cluster key shared_secret_key — configuration information used to encrypt the encryption key
interface (lbprivate | lbpublic) locgical_interface_name — specify the interface on the ASA and lbprivate should go as well as the interface and associated lbpublic
nat ip_address — only if a NAT device is located between the rough and remote users when used, it designated the public network interface of the ASA’s address
The designation of priority priority_ #—- devices to be elected committee ACTIVE, the more the number of higher priority, 5520 is the default 5,5540 default is 7
