Cisco 3945 vs 3945E from VPN feature perspective

[Calin C.]

Hello everybody,

I have an issue understanding the difference between 3945 and 3945E from VPN support perspective.

If you check this link here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10536/prod_series_comparison.html

You will see that the 3945E doesn't even have an ISM slot for a VPN ISM module and of course I could not find any ISM module for 3945E (I think this is obvious).

Nevertheless, the above mentioned page and

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10749/index.html

say "Embedded hardware-accelerated VPN encryption for secure connectivity" for 3945E

What I should understand from here?

That the Cisco 3945E supports the same VPN features (including packet encryption / decryption in hardware) like a Cisco 3945 with VPN ISM card?

Any help will be appreciated (voted) !

Thank you!

Calin

Both versions are mentioned in the ISR G2 Performance Overview. Perhaps that helps:
