VPN Termination Module for the 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller
A VPN termination hardware module (AIR-VPN-4400-K9=) is being released for the 4400 Series wireless LAN controllers. As with the VPN
termination module available today for the 4100 Series wireless LAN controllers, this module enables the 4400 Series wireless LAN controller to
terminate VPN client sessions directly on the controller. The module features the following capabilities:
•
Support for one VPN termination module on the 4402, and support for one or two VPN termination modules on the 4404
–
If two modules are installed, clients are automatically load balanced across the two modules (applicable to the 4404 only).
•
Support for up to 1000 client VPN sessions per module (maximum of 2000 client VPN sessions for a 4404 with two modules)
•
Up to 1 Gbps of encryption / decryption per module (maximum of 2 Gbps for a 4404 with two modules)
•
Support for the following IPsec clients: Cisco VPN Client, NetScreen Remote, SSH Sentinel, Movian, and Openswan
Notes
•
The 4400 VPN termination module (AS-VPN-4400-K9=) is a different physical form factor than the 4400 VPN termination module
(AS-VPN-4100-K9=) – the two modules are not interchangeable.
•
L2TP is not supported on the 4400 VPN termination module. L2TP is supported on the 4100 VPN termination module
Benefits of VPN Termination Module for the 4400 Series wireless LAN controller:
•
Termination of VPN sessions directly on the controller enables client traffic to enter the corporate network as close the edge as possible
•
Support for a second VPN termination module on the 4404 enables scaling of VPN termination traffic
•
Support for a variety of IPsec clients provides flexible deployment options
Wireless LAN Controllers Supported: Cisco 4400 Series wireless LAN controllers
Access Points Supported: Not applicable
Management Interfaces Supported: Cisco WCS, controller web user interface, command line interface
Regulatory Domain Updates
International regulatory requirements are constantly changing. To stay up-to-date on these changes, the following regulatory domain updates are
included in Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 3.2:
•
Addition of the –P regulatory domain to support the new 802.11a channel and power settings for Japan. The following combinations of access
points are permitted:
–
All new –P access points; country code JP2—The system will fully support both the UNII 1 and the UNII 2 changes in the new frequency
plan, as well as the normal 2.4-GHz channels.
plan, as well as the normal 2.4-GHz channels.
–
Mix of older “blank” and –J access points; country code JP—All access points work using the legacy frequency plan for 5 GHz, as well as
the normal 2.4-GHz channels.
the normal 2.4-GHz channels.
–
Mix of older “blank”, –J, and –P access points; country code JP—All access points to be operational for 2.4-GHz channels, but only the
“blank” and –J access points are operational for 5 GHz providing, support for the unshifted UNII 1 channels only. The –P access points will
not be operational in the 5-GHz band in this operating mode.
