Description

Hardware-based IPsec acceleration bundle for Catalyst 6500, designed to offload encryption from the supervisor and scale site-to-site and remote-access VPNs. System-only bundle focused on delivering reliable, low-latency crypto services through the switch backplane with centralized policy control. Ideal for high-session, always-on VPN aggregation in campus or core environments.

Features

- Dedicated hardware offload for IPsec encryption and authentication
- Backplane-based design minimizes latency and simplifies cabling
- Scales VPN throughput and sessions beyond CPU-only processing
- Centralized policy and key management through the host OS
- Flexible deployment for site-to-site and remote-access VPNs
- Supports HA designs with active/standby modules (platform-dependent)

Warranty

All products sold by XS Network Tech include a 12-month warranty on both new and used items. Our in-house technical team thoroughly tests used hardware prior to sale to ensure enterprise-grade reliability.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: Which chassis is this module compatible with?
A: It is designed for Catalyst 6500/7600-class chassis that support service-module slots, subject to software and supervisor compatibility.

Q: Does this bundle include feature licenses?
A: It is a system-only bundle. Hardware licensing is not required, but certain IPsec features may require host OS licenses.

Q: Are there any front-panel interfaces?
A: No. Traffic is handled over the chassis backplane; all policy and interfaces are configured on the host switch.

Q: What cryptographic algorithms are supported?
A: It supports common IPsec cipher suites such as AES/3DES and SHA-based integrity. Refer to the platform release notes for exact algorithm support.

Q: Can I use multiple modules for redundancy or scale?
A: Yes, multiple modules can be deployed for redundancy or increased aggregate capacity, depending on the chassis and software capabilities.
