The Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series Router Virtual Private Network Modules (VPN Modules) optimize the platforms for virtual private networks (VPNs). The Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600 and 3700 Series VPN Modules provide up to 10 times the performance over software-only encryption by offloading the encryption processing from the router central processing unit (CPU). Ideal for use in enterprise branch offices for connecting remote offices, mobile users, and partner extranets or service provider managed-services customer premises equipment (CPE), the Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600 and 3700 Series VPN Modules delivers a rich integrated package of routing, firewall, intrusion-detection, and VPN functions. As an integral component of Cisco VPN solutions, the Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600 and 3700 Series VPN Modules provide industry-standard encryption (IPSec), application-aware quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth management, together with robust perimeter security options. |
| Additional Information |
- Modular Router Solutions:
- VPN & Firewall Solutions
- Number of Encryption Modules per Router: 1
- High Overhead IPSec Processing from the Main Processor
- IPSec MIB
- Certificate Support Enables Automatic Authentication using Digital Certificates
- VPN modules Easily Integrated into New and Existing Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series Routers
- IPSec Provides Confidentiality, Data Integrity, and Data Origin Authentication
- In addition to encryption processing, the Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series VPN Module handles a variety of other IPSec-related tasks-hashing, key exchange, storage of security associations-freeing the main processor and memory to perform other router, voice, firewall, and intrusion-detection functions
- Encryption Supported:
- All support IPSec DES,3DES, Authentication: RSA and Diffie Hellman, Data integrity: SHA-1 and MD5
- Hardware-Based DES and 3DES Encryption:
- Increases overall encryption performance over software encryption methods, supported on all VPN Modules.
- IPSec Software-based Compression:
- Software based Layer 3 IPPCP is now enabled to use with current VPN Modules. This allows IPPCP to run on the Router CPU (requires 12.2(13)T or later)
- Throughput:
- Up to 8 Mbps for Cisco 1700, up to 10 Mbps for Cisco 2600, up to 14 Mbps for the Cisco 2600XMs, up to 18 Mbps for Cisco 3620 and 3640, and up to 40 Mbps for the 3660. (With 1400-byte packets)
- Maximum Number of Encrypted Tunnels:
- Up to 100 encrypted tunnel on a 1700, up to 300 tunnels on Cisco 2600, up to 800 for 2650 with AIM-VPN/ EP, up to 800 tunnels for the Cisco 2600XMs, 2691, and 3725, up to 800 tunnels on Cisco 3620 and 3640, and up to 2,000 tunnels on Cisco 3660 and 3745
