Nortel VPN Router Installation — VPN Router 1750
Figure 20 VPN Router Security Accelerator card
The VPN Router Security Accelerator card is the successor to the Hardware
Accelerator card. Even though Nortel discontinued the Hardware Accelerator
Hifn 7811 card effective January 2006, Nortel still supports this card. The VPN
Router Security Accelerator card provides increased encryption throughput and
improved compression performance.
At startup, after you manually enable an accelerator card, or after the accelerator
recovers from a failure, the power-on self-test (POST) verifies the integrity of the
hardware. This test includes validation of the encryption, media access control
(MAC), and compression algorithms against their software counterparts. In the
event POST fails, the accelerator card is set offline.
For more information about the VPN Router Security Accelerator card and the
Hardware Accelerator card, and instructions to configure these cards, see Nortel
VPN Router Configuration — Advanced Features (NN46110-502).
SSL VPN Module 1000
The SSL VPN Module 1000 provides complete SSL VPN processing capability to
the VPN Router gateway. This module provides a unified solution for IPsec and
remote access SSL VPN.
“SSL VPN Module 1000” on page 76 shows the SSL VPN Module 1000.
Note: The VPN Router Security Accelerator card has one green Light
Emitting Diode (LED); the Hardware Accelerator card has no LEDs.
