GETVPN: Cisco 3925E as a Key Server for 1500 GMs

[jcorcuera]

Hi,

In a MPLS-VPN scenario as a private network for a client, they want to encrypt all their data traffic. GETVPN is the chosen encryption solution. They have 1500 branch offices, and 2 CPDs. We plan to use two Cisco 3925E as Key Servers, one in each CPD.

Is the Cisco 3925E enough to support 1500 Branch Offices? If not, what plattaform do you recommend?

Cisco Deployment and design guide is from 2010 and new platform Cisco 3900 is not mentioned.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jorge,

The maximum number of GMs tested on a 3925E is 4000. you'll find the details of the scalability tests here:
