Description

Enhanced system-only IPsec VSPA bundle for Catalyst 6500 focused on high-scale VPN aggregation. It offloads CPU-intensive encryption/authentication to dedicated silicon, leveraging the chassis backplane for wire-speed forwarding and centralized policy control. Suited for demanding enterprise and service-provider edge deployments.

Features

- Hardware-based acceleration for IPsec encryption/authentication
- Backplane integration for low-latency forwarding
- Frees host CPU for control-plane and non-crypto tasks
- Supports large VPN hubs and hub-and-spoke topologies
- High-availability and scale-out options with multiple modules
- Centralized configuration and monitoring from the host system

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q: How does this differ from standard software-based IPsec?
A: It offloads crypto operations to dedicated hardware, increasing throughput and session scale while freeing CPU resources on the host.

Q: Does it require specific supervisor or software versions?
A: Yes, compatibility depends on the chassis supervisor and OS version. Check the platform compatibility matrix and release notes.

Q: Are external interfaces provided?
A: No. All traffic uses the chassis backplane; interfaces are configured on the host line cards.

Q: What licensing is needed?
A: No separate hardware license is needed for the module. Some IPsec features may require host OS feature licenses.

Q: Can multiple bundles be installed for scale?
A: Yes, multiple modules can be installed to improve resiliency and aggregate performance (platform-dependent).
