Hi Siva,

The current IP base package that you have doesn't support IPSec.

You need to have a Advance security package for that.

Check out this link to understand the IOS packaging details and the feature set hierarchy

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5460/index.html

To understand more on IOS packaging, visit this QA section

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5460/products_qanda_item09186a00801af2c6.shtml

Use the feature navigator at the following URL, using which you can find out features supported based on platforms, the current ios image that you have etc.

A Very usefull tool, to understand what is currently supported with your devices/ios and how you can plan for upgradation.

AIM is optional. For additional throughput and other benefits your can opt for it.
