The Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Module Entry Level, identified by part number SM-ES2-16-P=, is a network device that provides managed Ethernet switching capabilities. This service module is designed to be a plug-in module, allowing for seamless integration into Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). It features a total of 15 Ethernet ports, making it suitable for small to medium network deployments that require basic Layer 2 switching functions.
This module is equipped with 16 Fast Ethernet switching ports, of which one is allocated for management and internal router integration, while the other ports serve as regular Fast Ethernet interfaces for connecting end devices, such as computers, servers, or additional network hardware. The managed switching capability ensures that network administrators can configure and manage traffic policies, security settings, and other vital network parameters, ensuring optimised performance and security for networked devices.
The Cisco SM-ES2-16-P= module supports basic Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling prioritisation of specific traffic types, and it is compatible with Cisco’s extensive command-line interface (CLI) for configuration purposes. Moreover, the service module enhances network efficiency by lowering total operational costs, as it integrates into existing router infrastructures. This eliminates the need for additional standalone switches and simplifies network management.
Designed as an entry-level solution, the module is capable of handling the requirements of a small-to-medium enterprise or branch office. The robust feature set combined with flexible switching options makes it a valuable choice for businesses looking for reliable and straightforward network expansion solutions.
