URGENT: Hello- Looking for a Test Plan for physical testing of a MX67

[Krishnakumar]

Hello, I am looking for a test plan or a list of the most common use cases for a MX67 which I would be testing later this month.

Dear experts, it would be great to hear from you on a list of the most common use cases/ functionalities that I can embed as part of the test plan.

Thanks in advance, your help is really appreciated.

What is the purpose of this test plan? 

The MX67 is a gateway with MANY features. Are you trying to test the device for use in your organization? 

The most common use of a MX67 is as a small business gateway with SD-WAN and site-to-site capabilities.

Hi, no so basically we are looking at deploying it for customers. So wanted to understand the most common use cases that we could maybe test in person.

Say if we are using this in the context of hybrid work, what would be the most common use-cases that we can test? @double_virgule would be great to hear your thoughts on this.

This sounds like it would be a great conversation to have with your sales representative or your contact at Cisco, as it seems like you are looking for resale points on this device. 

The most common use case in the scenario you described would be to allow someone to have their work PC on a site-to-site VPN behind a MX67 while at their home or other location.

That is like asking for a test plan for Windows Server.  It can do so many things it is difficult to know where to start.

Hi Philip, from the context of hybrid work, what would you say are the most common use cases or test cases?

The most interesting play to me in that space is SASE using Cisco Secure Connect.

The next step down is enabling remote work using Cisco Secure Client AnyConnect.

Bonus points for integrating it with Duo for authentication and authorization.  Make sure only authorised users are allowed to connect from authorised devices in a known security posture.
