The VPN module hardware is available in these forms:

• MOD1700-VPN—This VPN module fits in ALL 1700 Series Routers, which includes the Cisco 1710, 1720,

1721, 1750, 1751, and 1760 models. This VPN Module fits in a slot inside the Cisco 1700 chassis, encrypts data

using the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and 3DES algorithms at speeds suitable for a full-duplex T1/E1 serial

connection (up to 8-Mbps triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES). (max based on 1400 byte packet size).

• AIM-VPN/Base Performance (BP)—This advanced interface module (AIM) can be added to ALL current

Cisco 2600 series routers (including the Cisco 2600s, 2600XMs and 2691) to provide hardware-based encryption

services with up to 10-Mbps triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) performance for the Cisco 2600s and

2600XMs (max based on 1400 byte packet size).

• AIM-VPN/Enhanced Performance (EP)—This advanced interface module (AIM) VPN Module can be added to

all current Cisco 2600, 2600XM, and 2691 as well as the Cisco 3725. This AIM is designed to take advantage

of the Cisco 2650/51, 2600XMs, 2691 and 3725’s speed and is not recommended for the Cisco 2610/11 and

2620/21. This model can provide hardware-based encryption services with up to 14-Mbps triple Data Encryption

Standard (3DES) performance in the Cisco 2650/51, up to 15-Mbps 3DES performances on the Cisco 2600XMs.

(max based on 1400 byte packet size).

• Network module (NM)-VPN/Mid Performance (MP)—This network module is supported on all current Cisco

3620 and Cisco 3640 platforms to provide hardware-based encryption services with up to 18-Mbps 3DES

performance (max based on 1400 byte packet size).

• AIM-VPN/High Performance (HP)—This AIM can be added to the Cisco 3660 and Cisco 3745 models to provide

hardware-based encryption services with up to 42-Mbps-3DES performance (max based on 1400 byte packet size).
