Cisco 2851 AIM-VPN/HPII-PLUS Encryption Card
cisco
High-performance internal VPN Encryption and Compression Advanced Integration Module (AIM), engineered to offload intensive hardware-level DES, 3DES, and AES encryption tasks from Cisco 2851 router CPUs.
The AIM-VPN/HPII-PLUS is an enterprise-grade internal Advanced Integration Module (AIM) designed specifically to expand the secure networking capabilities of modular Cisco integrated services routers. By providing dedicated, hardware-accelerated processing for Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES up to 256-bit keys) protocols, this specialized module offloads processor-heavy cryptographic algorithms from the router's primary CPU. It significantly boosts overall data throughput across secure IPsec VPN tunnels while simultaneously managing hardware-based LZS data compression to optimize available wide area network (WAN) bandwidth.
