The Cisco VPN Module with part number SEC17-VPN-M is a cryptographic accelerator designed specifically to enhance the performance of virtual private network (VPN) operations using Cisco systems. This component integrates encryption and decryption processes directly into the hardware, allowing for improved throughput, reduced CPU usage, and enhanced security. The module supports a range of encryption algorithms such as AES and 3DES, which helps maintain data integrity and confidentiality during VPN communications.
The SEC17-VPN-M is compatible with a variety of Cisco router models and was a common choice for organisations looking to bolster their security protocols, facilitating secure connections over public or private networks while limiting latency. It was often used in scenarios requiring site-to-site VPN tunnels or remote access VPNs, making it an essential security feature for many enterprise networks.
This cryptographic accelerator also supports hardware-based IP Security (IPsec) functions, providing network administrators with the ability to reduce the load on the router's main CPU by offloading data encryption tasks to the SEC17-VPN-M module. This results in more efficient performance, particularly in environments that deal with high data traffic volumes. Additionally, the use of the module contributes to improved VPN scalability, allowing businesses to support multiple concurrent VPN sessions without a noticeable decrease in performance.
It’s important to note that the Cisco SEC17-VPN-M is now classified as end of life (EOL), making it a legacy product that is no longer supported by Cisco. Despite this, many businesses and institutions continue to use it in mission-critical applications, choosing third-party service providers for necessary support and replacement parts.
