Re: SoftEther Site to Site with Cisco ASA 5520
Noone has ever gotten this to work? The article at https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... uter_Setup seems lacking, even though the Cisco solution is boasted as the best solution.
AFAIK, the L2TP tunnel should be terminated to a virtual HUB as per the diagram, even if connecting with a L2TP device?

I don't see that there is an IP to assign to the L2TP device/tunnel in the Virtual Layer 3 Switch for the remote site.
Also, I don't see what ethernet device the Local Bridge should connect to for the remote site (Osaka in the diagram)
Any hints would be appreciated.
I have read all of the documentation on this without finding any good solution.

Localbridge can't bridge to a remote site.
Localbridge is for local bridging as its name suggests.

Re: SoftEther Site to Site with Cisco ASA 5520
So how is the Cisco unit supposed to authenticate to the L3 Switch?
Is this supposed to work at all? Reading from
https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... olution%3F

Why does it not exist any good manual for this? It seems other people who have tried to get this working have given up?
If I get it working I will publish a proper guide.
Regards

Re: SoftEther Site to Site with Cisco ASA 5520
Which L3 switch are you asking about?

Re: SoftEther Site to Site with Cisco ASA 5520
The Cisco endpoints are authenticating to something at the central site. Doing this with bridge mode works well but I fail to understand how to configure this with routing.

Re: SoftEther Site to Site with Cisco ASA 5520
The Virtual L3 switch is just a generic router.
There isn't authentication.
Please just specify IP address of the virtual interface as a gateway.
