CISCO ASAv review
Cisco AnyConnect package is missing
We have subscribed "Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv) - Standard Package" from AWS Marketplace and launched new machine but we are unable to retrieve the Cisco ASAv license so that we can contact Cisco. Basically we need "Cisco AnyConnect Package 2.5 or later".
When we try to log a case with cisco it asked for login but we have purchased this aws marketplace. We don't have any login id for cisco ASAv which we have taken from aws.
Someone please help.
Not available in your Geo Location
I'm in Canada and I can't use this? Seriously? This seems like a extremely short sighted decision to limit this subscription.
Incomplete Steps - Unable to Download AnyConnect Software
I am a new Cisco customer, and want to use the standard package for testing purposes. I do not need it to be active all the time and that is I why selected this option.
However, I have not been able to download the AnyConnect software to test RA-VPN. It asks me for a contract and I do not have one.
I just do not know how to get it. Very frustrating. I have opened a case with Cisco but they do not seem to know what to do either.
Disappointing performance.
We are running asav9-13-1-7 on c5.2xlarge and we are not happy with the value. As we are using the appliance for SSLVPN, we primarily need to scale in terms of concurrent users. The "box" looked very promising by its featureset (10G interfaces and 10K concurrent users supported) at launch but in reality the setup seems to only scale to appr 1500 users (Cloudwatch metrics show instance cpu flat around 90% with only 1200 users and 2Gpbs of total VPN traffic).
Is there a way to improve somewhat (would also be good to have a performance prediction by Cisco) via implementing support for c5.4xlarge instance?
