Thanks for sharing… I will try configure my VPN Client.
Works great, much simplier than installing other Cisco VPN solutions!
Thanks for the great info….
thankx buddy for this sharing this information.
Great tut, saved me messing around with scripts!
Great post. Thanks.
I had 11.10 and didn’t see the Cisco option for VPN, just point-to-point. I have upgraded to 12.04 and still don’t see the Cisco option. When I tried to install vpnc, here’s what I get:
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package network-manager-vpnc is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ‘network-manager-vpnc’ has no installation candidate
Any ideas? Thanks.
update your package list first
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
it works for me
Doing update first didn’t work me — still getting same message. What worked is I installed 12.04LTS from scratch (not via upgrade) and I was able to install network-manager-vpnc just fine. Maybe the /etc/apt/sources are not just set up properly on mine.
Thanks.
Thanks Bro. You really helped me.
sudo apt-get was giving issue for me as well, then i tried synaptic package manager to install it successfully.
Thanks
Not connecting to Cisco ASA 510 for me. With advanced settings set to match what I have on my RV042 routers (IKE group, etc.) the icon shows attempting to connect. The lock icon will appear briefly but then immediately changes to the Ubuntu trying to connect icon. No traffic passes through vpn (cannot ping any of my remote hosts). How do I troubleshoot this??
Thanks Ksan – your suggestion worked in new install of 12.04.
Works with my UC, thanks.
running Ubuntu 12.04 LT I installed Cisco ASA throgh terminal but it doesn’t show anything. Doesn’t look like anything installed. Don’t see any thing; Should I post screen shot?
Thanks for sharing, I’ve been searching for these steps for several days.
