Usage Guidelines
This command is not normally needed for typical operations because the router's onboard hardware
accelerator for IPSec encryption is enabled by default. The hardware accelerator should not be disabled
except on instruction from Cisco TAC personnel.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the router's onboard hardware accelerator for IPSec
encryption. This is normally needed only after the accelerator has been disabled for testing or debugging
purposes.
Router# crypto engine accelerator
Router#
The following example shows how to disable the router's onboard hardware accelerator. If IPSec
encryption is configured, all current connections are brought down. Future encryption is performed by
the Cisco IOS software, which has the same functionality as the hardware accelerator, but performance
is significantly slower.
Router# no crypto engine accelerator
Warning! all current connections will be torn down.
