VPN through Cisco Router

Hi. I just wish to ask if it's possible to set up two crypto maps in just one router where one crypto map has one ip peer and another crypto map has another ip peer. I tried doing this before but it only works for one peer and not the other.

Thanks.

No, I don't believe you can have multiple crypto maps... you certainly can't on the PIX.

Actually, you can have as many maps as you like, but you can only apply one to an interface. Yeah, that's it. One crypto map to an interface, but you can list mutiple peers inside it, assuming that all the peers can use the same transforms/policies.

EDIT: found this link:

Shows that as long as the name of the map stays consistent, but the sequence number changes, you can apply a crypto map "set" to an interface. Scan down the page to the Apply Crypto Map to Interface section.

Hi. Thank you for replying. Is it possible if i have two crypto maps and i would apply one crypto map on one interface and another crypto map on another interface?

Thanks.

Ah, that's where you're going. Gotcha.

As the maps are tied to the interface, you should have no issue.

Here's a great link doing what you describe:

Both of those are public interfaces, correct? ie: they have public IP's and connect directly to the internet?

Hi Guys,

Just to make sure i get it right, if i have two interfaces with public interfaces, connected to two different ISPs, and i have two crypto maps each with its own peer address, i should be able to establish two vpn tunnels? What if the peer address is the same. I mean i would enable one crypto map on both interfaces pointing to just one peer IP, is this possible?
