The Cisco VPN Module - cryptographic accelerator, part number MOD1700-VPN-RF, is designed to enhance the performance of Cisco 1700 series routers, particularly in securing network communications. It enhances the capabilities of your router by offering a dedicated accelerator for encryption tasks, ensuring faster VPN operations, and allowing more secure traffic to pass through the network without compromising speed.
This module supports a wide range of encryption protocols, including IPSec for VPN tunneling, which protects the confidentiality and integrity of data over the internet. With its heightened cryptographic processing capabilities, more complex algorithms like 3DES and AES can be used at higher throughput rates, making it suitable for environments where security and speed are critical concerns.
The module also helps offload encryption tasks from the router's primary processor, which allows the device to handle multiple tasks simultaneously more efficiently. By relying on this dedicated hardware, users can utilize a router's full routing capabilities while ensuring encrypted communications are processed with greater efficiency. As part of the Cisco 1700 series ecosystem, it's fully integrated with Cisco's security software, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
This product works especially well within distributed or remote office setups, where VPN usage is essential for maintaining secure, encrypted communications. The simplicity of its hardware installation and configuration makes it an effective choice for businesses looking for a secure connection solution without taking away from the router's essential functions.
