Cisco ISM-VPN-29 VPN Internal Service Module ISMVPN29

Description:

The Cisco ISM-VPN-29 is an Integrated Services Module designed to provide hardware-accelerated VPN encryption services for Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR G2). Optimized for secure branch connectivity, the ISM-VPN-29 offloads VPN processing from the router CPU to deliver enhanced performance and scalability. It supports IPsec VPN, DMVPN, GETVPN, and SSL VPN technologies, making it ideal for organizations requiring robust site-to-site or remote access security. The module is integrated directly into the router chassis, preserving external slots for other network modules.
