2 Cisco 2851 Routers

Branch office networking requirements are dramatically evolving, driven by web and e-

commerce applications to enhance productivity and merging the voice and data infrastructure to

reduce costs. The Cisco 2851 routers provide a scalable, secure, manageable remote access

server that meets FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. This section describes the general features

and functionality provided by the routers. The following subsections describe the physical

characteristics of the routers.

2.1 The 2851 Cryptographic Module Physical Characteristics

Figure 1 – The 2851 router case

The 2851 Router is a multiple-chip standalone cryptographic module. The router has a

processing speed of 450MHz. Depending on configuration, either the installed AIM-VPN/SSL-2

module, the Safenet chip, or the IOS software is used for cryptographic operations.

The cryptographic boundary of the module is the device’s case. All of the functionality discussed

in this document is provided by components within this cryptographic boundary.

The interface for the router is located on the front and rear panels as shown in Figure 2 and

Figure 3, respectively.
