VPN Acceleration Module Overview

The VPN Acceleration Module (VAM) is a single-width acceleration module supported on the

Cisco 7200 series routers.

Note The Cisco 7100 series and the Cisco 7401ASR routers are no longer sold.

The VAM supports LAN/WAN media and full Layer 3 routing services. VAMs provide

hardware-assisted tunneling and encryption services for virtual private network (VPN) remote access,

site-to-site intranet and extranet applications, including security, quality of service (QoS), firewall and

intrusion detection, and service-level validation and management. The VAM off-loads IPSec processing

from the main processor to permit resources on the processor engines for other tasks.

The VAM provides hardware-accelerated support for multiple encryption functions:

• 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) standard mode: Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)

• 3-Key Triple DES (168-bit)

• Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)-1 and Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash algorithms

• Rivest, Shamir, Adelman (RSA) public-key algorithm

• Diffie-Hellman key exchange RC4-40

The VAM is available as a service adapter (SA-VAM), and as a service module (SM-VAM). The

SA-VAM is supported on the Cisco 7100 series routers, the Cisco 7200 series routers, and the

Cisco 7401ASR router. The SM-VAM is supported on the Cisco 7100 series router.
