The Cisco 7140 series VPN router offers specific hardware configurations and a processing architecture optimized for VPN applications and WAN Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) environments, delivering turnkey VPN and WAN edge router solutions for larger regional offices and corporate headquarters. The Cisco 7140 series features integrated LAN interfaces for connectivity to the corporate LAN or VPN termination behind the WAN edge as well as optional multiport WAN interfaces, providing multihomed connectivity to the VPN cloud. With its millions of instructions per second (mips) RISC processor, the Cisco 7140 series VPN router delivers robust VPN features, such as bandwidth management and firewall, at speeds greater than 90 Mbps, as well as scalable tunneling and encryption services.The Cisco 7140-2FE complements the Cisco 7140 line by offering a model without integrated WAN interfaces for VPN termination behind the WAN edge. Utilizing the dual Fast Ethernet interfaces standard on all Cisco 7100 series routers, the Cisco 7140-2FE provides a highly scalable solution purpose-built for behind-edge VPN applications and multichassis stackability/scalability. For high-capacity VPN deployments, the now shipping Integrated Services Module (SM-ISM) can be installed in any Cisco 7100 series router to support up to 2000 simultaneous IPSec users for remote access applications with throughput up to full-duplex DS3 speeds (90 Mbps) for site-to-site applications - -all with strong Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption. Alternatively, the ISM can support up to 2000 simultaneous Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) users for remote access with strong, 128-bit Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE).The Cisco 7140-2FE, with its dual Fast Ethernet only I/O, is specifically designed for customers who want to deploy VPNs behind their existing WAN edge device. Deploying a Cisco 7140-2FE for VPNs enables customers to utilize their existing WAN edge device for connectivity to the VPN and employ the Cisco 7140-2FE for tunneling, encryption, firewall, and QoS behind the edge device. Furthermore, the Cisco 7140-2FE is appropriate for multichassis stackability where WAN interfaces are not required. A multichassis design employing the Cisco 7140-2FE increases VPN scalability and reliability. Designed for high performance and reliability, the Cisco 7140-2FE features an RM7000 processor and a dual power supply.
