Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches are a new family of fixed-configuration standalone devices that provide desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for entry-level enterprise, mid-market, and branch office networks. The Catalyst 2960 Series offers integrated security, including network admission control (NAC), advanced quality of service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligent services for the network edge.

The 3Com WX2200 Wireless LAN Controller is ideal for datacenters and large enterprise sites with multiple sites looking to streamline security while centralizing WLAN administration and Radio Frequency (RF) management.

Used in combination with the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager, the 3Com WX2200 Wireless LAN controller can centrally manage up to 192 3Com wireless LAN Managed Access Points using local or external RADIUS authentication. With only a few keystrokes, administrators can change parameters for multiple managed access points, eliminating the time-consuming task of individually configuring each device, and providing simple setup.

Innovative Identity-Based Networking services based on user identity instead of ports or devices, allows uninterrupted roaming and wireless voice over IP.

Centralised security management features include Mobility Domain architecture, allowing controllers and switches to share databases, adding a new level of user and group access control to network resources. Sharing user-specific security policies between WLAN controllers and switches can result in a consistent enforcement of user and group attributes across the WLAN as the user roams.

The VPN Accelerator Card Plus (VAC+) for the Cisco PIX Firewall Series provides high-performance tunneling and encryption services suitable for site-to-site and remote-access applications. This hardware-based virtual private network (VPN) accelerator is optimized to handle the repetitive but voluminous mathematical functions required for IP Security (IPSec). Offloading encryption functions to the Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+ not only improves IPSec encryption processing, but also maintains high-end firewall performance. As an integral component of the Cisco VPN solution, the Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+ provides platform scalability and security while smoothly working with the services necessary for successful VPN deployments - encryption, tunneling, and firewall.

The Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+ adds Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hardware acceleration to the Cisco PIX Firewall. Also known as Rijndael, AES provides a better combination of safety and speed than Data Encryption Standard (DES). Using 128-bit secret keys, AES offers higher security against brute-force attacks than older 56-bit DES keys and can use 192-bit and 256-bit keys as well. AES is computationally more efficient than DES and can work at multiple network layers simultaneously. In October 2000 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of Commerce selected AES as a new encryption technique for protecting computerized information. It is expected to replace DES, which was adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1977.

The Cisco PIX Firewall VAC+, which fits into a PCI slot inside the Cisco PIX chassis, encrypts data using 56-bit DES; 168-bit Triple DES (3DES); and 128-, 192-, and 256-bit AES algorithms at speeds up to 440 Mbps. A Cisco PIX Firewall equipped with a VAC+ can support as many as 2, 000 encrypted tunnels for concurrent sessions with mobile users or other sites. In addition to encryption, the card handles numerous other IPSec-related tasks - hashing, key exchange, and storage of security associations - freeing the Cisco PIX Firewall main processor and memory to perform other perimeter security functions.
