Restrictions for DES/3DES/AES VPN Encryption Module

Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)T

Restrictions for DES/3DES/AES VPN Encryption Module

•Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) manual keying is not supported.

•To achieve maximum benefit from hardware-assisted IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPPCP), it

is suggested that prefragmentation be disabled if IP compression with the Limpel Zif Stac (LZS)

algorithm is enabled on IP Security (IPSec) sessions.

How to Configure DES/3DES/AES VPN Encryption Module

There are no configuration tasks specific to the encryption hardware. Both software-based and

hardware-based encryption are configured in the same way. The system automatically detects the

presence of an encryption module at bootup and uses it to encrypt data. If no encryption hardware is

detected, software is used to encrypt data.

Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)T

crypto engine accelerator

To enable a router’s onboard hardware accelerator for IPSec encryption, use the crypto engine

accelerator command in global configuration mode. To disable the use of the onboard hardware IPSec

accelerator, and thereby perform IPSec encryption/decryption in software, use the no form of this

command.

crypto engine accelerator

no crypto engine accelerator

Syntax Description This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults The hardware accelerator for IPSec encryption is enabled.

Command Modes Global configuration mode

Command History

Usage Guidelines This command is not normally needed for typical operations because the router’s onboard hardware

accelerator for IPSec encryption is enabled by default. The hardware accelerator should not be disabled

except on instruction from Cisco TAC personnel.

Examples The following example shows how to enable the router’s onboard hardware accelerator for IPSec

encryption. This operation is normally needed only after the accelerator has been disabled for testing or

debugging purposes.

Router(config)# no crypto engine accel
