Cisco 8800 Series Routers
Cisco 8800 Series Routers, from Cisco Systems, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4134 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode.

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Cisco 8800 Series is a family of routing platforms with modular chassis. The platform offers high port density, high performance forwarding, low jitter and the lowest power consumption per Gigabits/sec at a very cost-effective price point. The routers meet FIPS 140-2 overall Level 1 requirements as multi-chip standalone modules. The modules include cryptographic algorithms implemented in IOS-XR software.
