IKEv2 Cisco ASA and strongSwan

Hello Nguyen

strongSwan has some EAP and mobility extensions that can be useful for enterprise networks. However, the reason why you would use strongSwan for such a connection is primarily because it is a software package that has widespread use, and you will see it frequently in corporate networks. For this reason, it is a good idea to understand how to interconnect with it, as you may be called upon to make such a connection. Because it is well documented and maintained, it is likely that you will encounter it in the marketplace.

Although much of what strongSwan does can be done with a Cisco ASA, it is always good to know how to interconnect with devices of other vendors.

I hope this has been helpful!
