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.
