Network Access

  • You must select a Secure Access data center IP address when creating the IPsec tunnel. In the sample commands, <sse_dc_ip> refers to this IP address. We recommend choosing the IP address based on the data center located closest to your device.
  • Open UDP ports 500 and 4500 before connecting to the tunnel.

Cisco router (ISR-G2, ISR4K, or CSR) devices do not require public static IPv4 addresses configured on the interface that connects to the public internet and Secure Access. You can deploy these devices behind a NAT device. This is because we can specify a text as its IKE ID. This ID in combination with the PSK is used to successfully authenticate the Cisco router (ISR-G2, ISR4K, or CSR) devices with Secure Access.

Text as an IKE ID also allows multiple tunnels to be established from the same Cisco router device with a single IP address. This provides an opportunity to increase bandwidth by increasing the number of tunnels.
