Manage Regions and IP Pools

Manage your organization's regions and IP address pools that are used to secure the request and response traffic of your remote access VPN profiles. When setting up a VPN profile, you choose the Secure Access region where your data center is located, which determines where the VPN traffic will be routed within the your network.

A Secure Access region is a cluster of data centers in a specific geographic area, such as the Northeastern United States or Western Europe. It is a best practice to choose a region that is geographically close to users; this reduces latency because data reaches the users more quickly.
An IP address pool is a sequential range of IP addresses within a certain network. You can have multiple pool configurations. VPN profiles require IP addressing pools in order to be fully-functional. In addition, control plane traffic such as RADIUS is sourced from the Secure Access IP address pools.

Note: To prevent a possible network outage caused by server failure or connectivity issue, we recommend configuring at least two IP pool regions with the secondary region located as close to the primary IP pool region as geographically possible. This avoids unnecessary latency to user traffic.
