78-10811-05
New and Changed Information
VPN Accelerator Card Enhancements
Platforms: Cisco 7100 series and Cisco 7200 series routers
The VPN Accelerator Card Enhancements feature displays the packet statistics of the VPN accelerator
card and controller. It is available on the Cisco 7100 series router with the ISA and the ISM. It is
available on the Cisco 7200 series router only if an ISA is installed.
The ISA is a single-width service adapter and the ISM is a single-width service module. Each provides
high-performance, hardware-assisted tunneling and encryption services suitable for Virtual Private Network
(VPN) remote access, site-to-site intranet, and extranet applications. In addition each 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.
