Here is my dilemma...I have a rack of Cisco equipment that I have been studying with, on my lunch breaks, but our IT department has cut access to Telnet. I completely understand why they did it, but the only reason I used it for so long was because the rack was placed in a DMZ, without any access to the internal network at home.
Well when they dropped Telnet, it has caused an issue with my ability to study.
I have the ASA 5505 configured with three zones, INSIDE, OUTSIDE, AND DMZ. I can successfully SSH from the outside into the ASA to configure, as well as access the ASDM GUI. On the inside, I can SSH to the ASA, as well as Telnet to the Cisco Access Server in the DMZ.
I have tried configuring a Clientless SSL and SSL w/ AnyConnect VPNs, and they do not work at work. Mainly because I do not have Admin rights to install any kind of client, or to change browser settings. AnyConnect wants to create a special VPN network adapter, but I am unable to do that either, with the restrictions put in place.
Long story short, I need a good way to allow me to SSH into the Rack remotely. I have tossed around the idea of using one of the 1721 Routers I have with a VPN card built in. I could stick the 1721 in front of the ASA, with a static route between the two devices. And maybe use an ACL for security.
I am open to any and all suggestions on how I can make this work.
Thanks in advance!
