Cisco Catalyst 4000 Access Gateway Module Installation and Configuration Note
OL-3008-01
Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Features
Cisco Catalyst 4000 DSP Set
The Cisco Catalyst 4000 DSP set for the AGM includes 4 SIMMs with 6 DSPs each for telephony
services. The DSPs are required for analog or digital voice gateway support as well as for advanced voice
services such as conferencing or transcoding.
For information on the voice services enabled by the DSPs, see Voice Gateway Features and Advanced
Voice Services in the Software Features section.
Cisco Catalyst 4000 8-Port and 16-Port RJ-21 FXS Modules
The Cisco Catalyst 4000 8-port and 16-port RJ-21 FXS modules can be installed in the high density
analog flexslot on the AGM. By providing services to fax machines, speakerphones, modems, and
analog phones, the FXS ports emulate a PSTN central-office (CO) or PBX.
Calls from analog phones and fax machines connected to the FXS ports can be connected to the PSTN
or another analog phone via TDM switching on the AGM module itself, or converted to VoIP for
connection to an IP phone or for transmission across the IP WAN.
Note The FXS interfaces are separated into power domains to provide power protection between
domains and to ensure that ports not directly affected continue to operate.
Cisco Catalyst 4000 Encryption Service Adapter
The Encryption Service Adapter (ESA) for the AGM supports an integrated package of routing, firewall,
intrusion detection, and virtual private network (VPN) functions. The ESA provides up to ten times the
performance of software-only encryption by offloading the encryption processing from the router central
processing unit (CPU). The ESA can be used to connect branch offices to the enterprise IP WAN, mobile
users, partner extranets, or service provider managed customer premises equipment (CPE). Other ESA
hardware features include:
• 3 DES encryption/decryption on two duplex E1 links with 64-byte packets. This translates to a data
rate of 8 mbps and 15 kbps, respectively
• Simultaneously support 10 tunnels and 60 security associations
• 4 Internet Key Exchange (IKE) SA setups per second
Data Interface Modules
Data interfaces can be installed in the two VIC/WIC slots on the AGM. Table 1-1 describes the data
interface modules supported by the AGM.
