RA to lab?

Anyone know how to provide remote access to my cisco lab? I want to have a group I have have access to login remotely and access the devices, but not my personal network. Ive done something similar in the past when I could VPN into the home network, I could login to the devices, but obviously that provided access to my pcs as well.

Set up the VPN but only have it access certain addresses (the terminal server or your lab IPs).

previously I was using Amahi as an Open VPN server and Open VPN as a client, I'm not sure how I would set up any access restrictions. I'm thinking, If I set up a Cisco router as my default gateway, I'm fairly certain theres a way to connect to it...

I have an ASA if I can set that up for VPN access I assume it could be done?

When you set up the VPN you have to specify the addresses one will be reaching through the VPN. Rather than setup access to for example 192.168.1.0/24 set up access to 192.168.1.2/32 assuming that is your terminal server.

no terminal server. I didnt do any VPN configuration, never have. The server comes preconfigured on Amahi, all you do is use the client, enter the IP and it does the rest.

If you don't have a terminal server then just add the IPs of your lab gear. Or just put it on a separate subnet without access to the rest of your network and allow access to that subnet.

For OpenVPN see here. HOWTO
