• AIM-VPN/Base Performance (BP II) combines DES/3DES/AES (optimized for AES128 only) and Layer 3
(IPPCP) compression for Cisco 2600XM— This new advanced interface module (AIM) VPN Module can be
added to current Cisco 2600XM. This VPN Module offers DES/3DES and new AES (Advanced Encryption
optimized for AES128 key only and is ideal for network that require only AES128 encryption. In addition these
VPN Modules support hardware-assisted Layer 3 (IPPCP) compression services where bandwidth conservation
may lower network connection costs. This module can provide hardware-based encryption services up to
20-Mbps 3DES/AES128 performance in 2611 and up to 22 Mbps 3DES/AES128 performance on the
Cisco 2651XM (max based on 1400 byte packet size).
• AIM-VPN/Enhanced Performance (EP II) combines DES/3DES/AES (optimized for AES128 only) and Layer 3
(IPPCP) compression for Cisco 2691 and Cisco 3735—This advanced interface module (AIM) VPN Module can
be added to current Cisco 2691, and Cisco 3725. This Module offers DES/3DES and new AES (Advanced
Encryption standard) from the National Institute for Standards (
module is optimized for AES128 key only and is ideal for network that require only AES128 encryption. In
addition these VPN Modules support hardware-assisted Layer 3 (IPPCP) compression services where bandwidth
conservation may lower network connection costs. This module can provide hardware-based encryption services
up to 80-Mbps 3DES/AES128 performance in Cisco 2691 and 150-Mbps 3DES/AES128 performance in
Cisco 3725 (max based on 1400 byte packet size).
• AIM-VPN/High Performance (HP II) combines DES/3DES/AES(optimized for AES128 only) and Layer 3
(IPPCP) compression for Cisco 3660 and Cisco 3745— This advanced interface module (AIM) VPN Module can
be added to current Cisco 3745, and Cisco 3660 platforms. This Module also offers DES/3DES and new AES
from National Institute for Standards (Advanced Encryption standard) (
). This
VPN module is optimized for AES128 key only and is ideal for networks that require only AES128 encryption. In
addition these VPN Modules support hardware-assisted Layer 3 (IPPCP) compression services where bandwidth
conservation may lower network connection costs. This model can provide hardware-based encryption services
up to 180-Mbps 3DES/AES128 performance in the Cisco 3745 (max based on 1400 byte packet size).
• AIM-VPN/Base Performance PLUS (BPII-PLUS) combines DES/3DES/AES (optimized for AES128, AES192,
AES256) and Layer 3 (IPPCP) compression for Cisco 2600XM—This new advanced interface module (AIM)
VPN Module can be added to current Cisco 2600XM. This VPN Module offers DES/3DES and new AES
This VPN module is optimized for all AES key sizes (AES128, AES192, and AES256). In addition these VPN
Modules support hardware-assisted Layer 3 (IPPCP) compression services where bandwidth conservation may
lower network connection costs. This module can provide hardware-based encryption services up to 20-Mbps
3DES/AES(128,192,256) performance in 2611 and up to 22 Mbps 3DES/AES(128,192,256) performance on the
Cisco 2651XM (max based on 1400 byte packet size).
• AIM-VPN/Enhanced Performance PLUS (EP II-PLUS) combines DES/3DES/AES (optimized for AES128,
AES192, AES256) and Layer 3 (IPPCP) compression for Cisco 2691 and Cisco 3735—This advanced interface
module (AIM) VPN Module can be added to current Cisco 2691, and Cisco 3725. This Module offers DES/3DES
