Cisco Switching Platform and VPN on Ethernet handoff

[masoodabooali]

Hi,

I was wondering if/or what Cisco equipment can provide VPN capability over 100 MB Ethernet Fiber connections and what type of IOS to go with that?

routers: 3845? throughput?

Switches: CAT 6506? what module in a switch like that can offer VPN over 100 MB Ethernet hand-off?

Please advise,

Thanks,

Masood

The 3845 cannot handle 100MB encryption. The next one you can try is the 7200 NPE-G2 with with the VSA.

For C6506 SUP-720, you can use the SCC-400 with VPN SPA.

According to the following document, the 3845 is pretty close to 100 mbps of encrypted traffic with or without an optional AIM:
