On Cisco's site the following is reported:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/products_data_sheet0900aecd8028a976.html
.................

Hardware-accelerated 3DES for IPSec
Hardware-accelerated AES for IPSec
.........................
IPSec 3DES termination/initiation

Is it a mistake that it can only terminate and/or initiate 3DES IPsec tunnels
whille being able to encrypt data via AES
algorithm?

Alex.

Yes, it's some unfortunate mispelling. 870 series have on-board
VPN accelerator capable of both DES/3DES and AES hardware acceleration,
thus IPsec tunnels can be encrypted with hardware acceleration with
either of them.
