Cisco 3845 Onboard VP Module Capability

fsarisac · ‎03-25-2009

I have a Cisco 3845 router with on-board VPN module. I wonder whether I can use it for IpSec encryption of my 50 Mbps ethernet line. What is the maximum capacity of the on-board VPN module? When I send "sh crypto eli" command, it says mx IKE session is 700 and max IPSEC-Session is 1400. Any comment will be highly appreciated.

Yes you can use the VPN module and it's maximum throughput is 180Mbps. Here's a link for reference.
