Cisco SA-VAM2 Service Adapter VPN Acceleration Module

The Service Adapter VPN Acceleration Module 2 (SA-VAM2) is a single-width port adapter supported on the Cisco 7301 router and the Cisco 7200 series routers with the network processing engine 225 (NPE-225), 400 (NPE-400), G1 (NPE-G1), and the Network Services Engine (NSE-1) services accelerator.

An SA-VAM2 provides hardware-assisted tunneling and encryption/compression services for Virtual Private Network (VPN) remote access, site-to-site intranets, and extranet applications, including security, quality of service (QoS), firewall and intrusion detection, and service-level validation and management. The SA-VAM2 offloads IPSec processing from the main processor to permit resources on the processor engines for other tasks.

The SA-VAM2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), Removing an SA-VAM2 while traffic is flowing through the ports can cause system disruption, The Cisco 7301 router supports a single SA-VAM2 in the port adapter slot, The Cisco 7200 series routers support up to two SA-VAM2 cards, A-VAM2 cards can interoperate with port adapters supported on the Cisco 7200 chassis with the NPE-225, NPE-400, or NPE-G1 processor, or the NSE-1 services accelerator, When installing two SA-VAM2s on the Cisco 7200 series routers, per packet load balancing is not supported, 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in hardware and 192/256 bits in HSP software, 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) standard mode: Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Performance to OC3 full duplex with 300 byte packets, 5000 tunnels for DES/3DES/AES, Provides compression with IPSec at no extra overhead, Hardware-based compression: Layer 3 IPPCP LZS
Interoperability Between ISA, SA-VAM, and SA-VAM2: SA-VAM2 with ISA: Supports MPPE, Supports ISAKMP/IPSec , SA-VAM2 with SA-VAM: Does not support MPPE, Supports ISAKMP/IPSec SA-VAM2 with SA-VAM2: Does not support MPPE, Supports ISAKMP/IPSec
