The Cisco ASR5K-00-IP01PXY is an IPsec Proxy Services Module for the Cisco ASR 5000 series platforms.
Function: Provides dedicated hardware acceleration for IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) operations.
Purpose: Offloads computationally intensive encryption and decryption processes from the system's main Session Manager (SMC) or Packet Services Card (PSC), significantly improving performance for secure VPN and gateway services.
Form Factor: A single-slot module that installs into a dedicated bay on the ASR 5000 chassis.
Capacity: Each module can terminate a large number of IPsec tunnels.
Supported Algorithms: Accelerates a wide range of encryption and authentication algorithms, including AES (128, 192, 256-bit), 3DES, and SHA/MD5 hashing.
Redundancy: Supports 1:1 redundancy when a second IP01PXY module is installed in the chassis.
