Cisco (nim-es2-8-p=) 8-port Poe/ Poe+ Layer 2 Ge Switch Network Interface Module Nim-es2-8-p=
The 4- and 8-port Cisco® Gigabit Ethernet LAN Switch Network Interface Modules (NIMs) can reduce your company's total cost of ownership (TCO) by integrating Gigabit Ethernet switch ports within Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). These low-density Gigabit Ethernet switches offer small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices a combination of switching and routing integrated into a single device (Figure 1).
Integration of these switches with Cisco IOS-XE Software allows network administrators to manage a single device using Cisco management tools or the router command-line interface (CLI) for LAN and WAN management needs. This approach reduces network complexity, lowers maintenance contract costs, and lessens staff training needs. It also simplifies software qualification efforts and delivers a consistent user experience at branch offices. Additionally, these low-density Gigabit Ethernet switching modules enable Cisco's industry-leading power initiatives, including per-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) power monitoring, which enhances the ability of the branch office to scale to higher performance requirements and still meet environmental initiatives for IT teams to operate a power-efficient network.
The 4- and 8-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN Switch NIMs provide line-rate Layer 2 switching across onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 4-port NIM has four 10/100/1000 switched Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 8-port NIM has eight 10/100/1000 switched Gigabit Ethernet ports, with a PoE/PoE+ version capable of powering all eight ports. The NIMs furthermore enable direct module-to-module communication through the use of the multigigabit fabric (MGF).
The new features for the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Switch NIMs include four quality-of-service (QoS) queues per port, Shaped Deficit Weighted Round Robin (SDWRR), dynamic secure port, intra chassis cascading, up to 30W of PoE/PoE+ per port, and PoE per-port monitoring and policing.
Secure Network Connectivity for Data, Voice, and Video
When inserted in a Cisco 4000 Series ISR, the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Switch NIMs provide a fully integrated, highly secure networking and converged IP communications solution. From a single platform with an integrated switch, you can connect IP phones, wireless access points, and IP-based video cameras to your network and power them using IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+). With the optional integration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, the router can also provide call processing for the phones. As users attempt network access, the NIMs can use IEEE 802.1X to validate the credentials of the end device and place the user in the appropriate VLAN.
Features and Benefits
The Gigabit Ethernet LAN Switch NIMs provide increased performance levels, enhanced per-port security, and ease of configuration. In addition, with intermodule cascading capabilities, they allow for port expandability over time.
