Someone told me that I needed a VPN module for the 6500....I am running the ADVANCED IP SERVICES

Jody Lemoine

You need a VPN module to provide hardware-accelerated VPN. This is desirable if you're doing many IPSec tunnels and/or are pushing a lot of volume through them. For a small number of IPSec connections without a huge amount of data going through them, software-based IPSec will work. Just keep an eye on your processor utilization to make sure there isn't too much impact.
