The Cisco Ethernet Switch Module (model: GRWIC-D-ES-2S-8PC) is designed as a plug-in module for the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router, offering robust and flexible network connectivity. This module provides 8 managed Ethernet ports, enabling enhanced scalability and reliable communication in various network infrastructures. The switch supports multiple network protocols, crucial in facilitating both local and wide-area network configurations.
The managed switch feature is key here, allowing for advanced configurations that offer greater control over traffic, security configurations, and Quality of Service (QoS). Each port can be configured for performance optimisation or security purposes, ensuring a secure and efficient network experience. Furthermore, the module supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it capable of providing power to connected devices such as IP phones or wireless access points, which is particularly useful in areas where separate power sources are difficult to deploy.
The plug-in module form factor enables seamless extension of the existing grid router's functionality. With the ability to increase the grid router's capacity, network administrators can take control over their growing networks without requiring a complete hardware overhaul. The compact nature of the module makes it an ideal solution for scalable, flexible, and space-efficient network expansion. Additionally, the module's 8 ports are a significant asset, providing ample connectivity options for various edge devices or other network nodes, thus creating a well-structured local network with ease.
