Overview

The Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G is a specialized networking hardware component designed to enhance security and network management capabilities within the Cisco Catalyst 6500 or Cisco 7600 series platforms. This product is tailored for businesses that require secure, high-speed data transmission and sophisticated network management features. At the heart of its design, the Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G occupies a single slot within a Cisco Catalyst 6500 or Cisco 7600 chassis, requiring a Supervisor Engine 720, 720-3B, 720-3BXL, or Supervisor Engine 2 to function. This makes it an integral part of the network infrastructure, contributing to the overall efficiency and security of the system. The hardware specifications of the Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G include a power consumption of 150W per Cisco Services SPA Carrier-400, with a maximum power consumption of 235W when paired with the Carrier-400 and two Cisco IPSec VPN SPAs. Its physical dimensions are 1.75 x 15.375 x 16 inches (4.45 x 39.05 x 40.64 cm), indicating a compact form factor suitable for high-density network environments.
  • Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) for advanced QoS and queuing.
  • Supports high and low queues, ensuring efficient data traffic management.
  • Operational within a temperature range of 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C) and a relative humidity range of 10% to 90%, non-condensing.
The device is robust in terms of reliability, supporting Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) of the Cisco Services SPA Carrier-400 and the Cisco IPSec VPN SPAs. This feature minimizes downtime by allowing hardware replacements and upgrades without interrupting network operations. For network management, the Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G is compatible with CiscoWorks-CiscoView and CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials (RME) alongside Cisco IP Solution Center (ISC). This compatibility ensures that administrators can efficiently manage and monitor the network, enhancing the overall security and performance. The device boasts a high-performance architecture, offering a combined 5-Gbps packet forwarding capacity. This capability is essential for handling large volumes of data securely and swiftly across the network. Additionally, it features switch fabric connectivity, which allows system scalability up to 720 Gbps, catering to the needs of growing businesses and network demands. In terms of environmental specifications, the Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G can operate at altitudes ranging from -60 m to 2000 m, making it suitable for a wide range of physical locations. It also withstands storage temperatures from -40°F (-20°C) to 167°F (70°C), ensuring durability and longevity. The Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G is compatible with various Cisco 7600 Series/Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engines, including the 720, 720-3B, or 720-3BXL. It requires Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(18)SXE1 or later native Cisco IOS Software releases for optimal performance, ensuring that the device operates with the latest security and network management protocols. In conclusion, the Cisco SPA-IPSEC-2G is a critical component for businesses looking to secure their network infrastructure. Its combination of high-speed data transmission, advanced queuing and QoS features, and extensive compatibility with Cisco network management software makes it a valuable addition to any Cisco Catalyst 6500 or Cisco 7600 series setup.
