Along with providing support for AES, the VPN Router Security Accelerator card
provides increased encryption throughput and improved compression
performance.
At startup, when you manually enable an accelerator card, or when the accelerator
recovers from a failure, the power-on self-test (POST) verifies the integrity of the
hardware. This test includes validation of the accelerator’s encryption, MAC, and
compression algorithms against their software counterparts. In the event POST
fails, the accelerator card is set offline.
