Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliant VPN Routers are the ideal solution for enterprises requiring secure, low-cost connectivity across the Internet or managed IP networks. The VPN Routers provide, IP routing, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), stateful firewall, encryption, authentication, directory and policy services, Quality of Service (QoS), and bandwidth management services in a single integrated platform. These devices provide a solution for small, medium, and large sites requiring Internet connectivity for both secure VPN communications and for basic IP/Internet access.
