[bws]

Hi all,

I have got cisco 2800 series router. I need to install IPS on it. Have come accross AIM and NME. Can someone shed more light on the difference and pros/cons of them.

Regards,

BWS

Here is information on AIM and NME, and which router supports which module:

Hope that helps.

throughput on AIM is 45Mbps, throughput on NME is 75Mbps

2801 doesn't take NM/NME modules

If you get NME, you'll be able to use it later on a 2900 router (with a special adapter), but not AIM

AIM is managed through inband port, NME can be managed through out of band port

AIM is much much cheaper
