Actually, 2500 series routers can do more than gre tunnels, they can do
IPSec as well.
All you need is an IPSec enabled feature set. I have IPSec running on a
2500 in a lab.
The only edge a 3600 has over a 2500 in IPSec'ing is more raw CPU
horsepower.
I wouldnt be surprised if in the CCIE lab we were asked to make an IPSec VPN
between a 3600 and a 2500.
