Topoplogy-II will work fine for the 8548 boards operating in "tunnel mode". For Topology-I, I don't know what you have in mind. It takes at least 4 systems for "tunnel mode"... 2 endpoints and 2 hosts in the middle for the IPsec tunnel. You can do "transport mode" with 2 or more systems since it is endpoint to endpoint. But in that case Topology-I doesn't have the 8548 doing any IPsec work since it's not an endpoint.
