FIPS 140-2 Nonproprietary Security Policy for Cisco 7206VXR NPE-400 Router with VAM
OL-3959-01
Module Interfaces
The VPN Acceleration Module (VAM) is a single-width acceleration module that provides
high-performance, hardware-assisted tunneling and encryption services suitable for virtual private
network (VPN) remote access, site-to-site intranet, and extranet applications. It also provides platform
scalability and security while working with all services necessary for successful VPN
deployments—security, quality of service (QoS), firewall and intrusion detection, and service-level
validation and management. The VAM off-loads IPSec processing from the main processor, thus freeing
resources on the processor engines for other tasks.
The VAM has three LEDs, as shown in
Figure 3
