The Cisco IPSec VPN Shared Port Adapter, part number SPA-IPSEC-2G-RF, is a dedicated cryptographic accelerator designed specifically for enhancing the performance of secure VPN data transmissions. This adapter supports a variety of cryptographic operations, including the processing of Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) traffic, a widely-used standard for securing IP communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet in a communication session.
The Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G-RF is capable of delivering an encryption throughput of up to 2 Gigabits per second, making it a valuable addition for handling high-intensity network traffic that requires secure data transmissions. This high throughput is essential for large networks that need to maintain secure, fast, and reliable VPN connections.
It is optimised for implementation in Cisco’s high-performance routing platforms, particularly those who utilise Shared Port Adapters (SPAs). Designed to offload encryption tasks from the main router processor, the adapter frees up system resources, enabling the router to handle other tasks with maximum efficiency.
The SPA-IPSEC-2G-RF adapter employs a comprehensive suite of encryption algorithms such as AES, DES, and 3DES, ensuring compatibility with various security standards. It also integrates smoothly with Cisco IOS Software for ease of management and implementation within existing Cisco network environments.
This specific part is a Refurbished unit, indicated by the 'RF' in the part number, meaning it has been thoroughly tested for performance and reliability, offering an economic option for those seeking high encryption performance.
