Software release
- JUNOS 5.2 and later
Description
- High-bandwidth encryption (in accordance with IPSec standards)
- Power requirement: 0.21 A @ 48 V (10 W)
- Support for IPSec encryption, decryption, and key calculation acceleration
Note: The ES PIC does not support reassembly and decryption of encrypted packets that were fragmented in an IPSec tunnel.
Hardware features
- Extends the existing security functionality to Internet traffic at high-performance rates
- Throughput at 800 Mbps, half duplex
- 1000 IPSec tunnels or 2000 IPSec security association (SA) pairs
- Supports MTUs of up to 3900 bytes
Software features For a list of the software features available for services PICs, see the JUNOS Services Interfaces Configuration Guide.
- Support for IPv4
- Authentication hash algorithms: MD-5 and SHA-1
- Encryption algorithms: DES, 3-DES, and Null
- Automated key management using Diffie-Hellman key establishment
- Support for pre-shared key management
- Authentication Header and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) independently or in bundle mode
- Tunnel mode IPSec encryption and decryption for data traffic
- Transport mode IPSec encryption and decryption for control traffic
- Static and dynamic security associations (SA) supported
- SA lifetime configurable in seconds and kilobytes
- JUNOS release 7.0 or later is recommended to configure graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES).
