Hello,
how to enable IPSec acceleration on Mikrotik RB1100AHx2 - cannot find any check or button anywere.
Is it only for AES 128 or it will go on 192 or 256 aes ? 3des?

It doesn’t have to be enabled. It’s a hardware feature and happens automatically

Oh, ok, thank you for info, i thought that it only can accelerate 128, but as i can understand 256bit goes too

Hi Guys!

I’m interested if the encryption accelerator chip inside is an AES accelerator or IPSec accelerator?
If the first, than it should accelerate OpenVPN with enc@AES, doesn’t it?

HW acceleration works only with Ipssec. OVPN is not supported.

thanks! So this is not encryption accelerator, but IPSec-encryption accelerator

its offtopic from now, but can you forward me any wiki or howto, about setting up an OSPF thru IPSec VPN? (do i have to use IP-IP over IPSec, or what?)
