VAC or VAC+ on a Pix running 7.x

Try "show crypto accelerator statistics" and look at the end of the display for hardware related info.

I don't see anything related to hardware in the output so I'm guessing that this 525 doesn't have a VAC or a VAC+ installed.

MDF-FLR2-FW1# show crypto accelerator statistics

Thanks for the info. J

You are correct.
