10/100 Secure NIC, Bulk
IPSec and 3DES Encryption at Wire Speeds.
Designed for Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, the 3Com® 10/100 Secure NIC hardens at-risk systems without impacting network performance. It uses an embedded security processor to offload encryption, authentication, and other cycle-intensive tasks from the host CPU—resulting in optimal system and application response. This innovative 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connection includes intelligent management and server features that help improve network performance, reduce administration time, and lower support costs.
Features:
- Secures sensitive data at wire speeds—with DES/3DES encryption, MD5 and SHA-1 hashing, RFC 2402 authentication, and up to 75 Security Associations.
- Hardware-enforced security features meet FIPS 140-2 criteria; NIST approved.
- Upgradeable to the 3Com Embedded Firewall Policy Server (3CRFW020-PS-97) which provides a centrally managed hardware firewall solution.
- Supports larger packets—segments TCP frames for the Ethernet MAC and adds TCP sequence numbers to each packet.
- Uses flow control to reduce lost packets and retransmissions for more efficient data transfer between the NIC and switch.
- Responds to router-based management requests from sleep mode to help resolve IP address-aging issues.
- Includes 3Com Managed PC Boot Agent for pre-OS management, including installation, recovery, and network boot.
