Shared VPN with multiple devices via Edge Client.

I have a remote developer that uses the F5 Edge client (On windows 7) to access Corp resources via the Big-IP 5000 Ver 11.6.0

 

He has a few devices (linux) that he also needs to connect to Corp resources. Does F5 have a solution for this? (Basically a site-site VPN as I have done this with Cisco ASA's in the past)

 

Options I can think of so far:

 

1) Each Device establishes a VPN connection via Edge Client. (not ideal)

 

2) Bridge two NIC's on the Win 7 PC and enable IPEnableRouter in Registry and connect Linux devices to bridge LAN (not sure if that will work with F5)

 

3) Does F5 offer a Site-to-Site solution for home offices?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Vic

    Thanks for the response, but the developer does not have a BIG-IP at his home location.

     

    I'm looking for a way for the developer to have all his devices (win 7 and linux) connect to company resources over the F5 VPN Via the Edge Client.

    The IPSec configuration can be used to connect more than just BIG-IP to BIG-IP connectivity.

     

    I do not believe that the Edge Client supports a gateway/tunnel mode.
