The Cisco EtherSwitch NM-16ESW is a versatile, managed switch module designed to be plugged into compatible Cisco routers. This module adds enhanced switching capabilities to your existing network system by incorporating 16 Ethernet ports. With its managed functionality, the switch allows for better control and customisation of the network, making it ideal for businesses requiring top-tier network performance.
Being a plug-in module, this switch module is designed for easy integration into supported Cisco routers without the need for additional hardware. The unit comes equipped with Layer 2 switching capabilities, providing support for VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), port security, and QoS (Quality of Service), ensuring data prioritisation across your network. These features allow efficient network traffic management while maintaining security at a granular level.
The switch module supports 16 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps ports, offering a reliable connection for end devices, such as computers, IP phones, or printers. Since it's managed, users have access to advanced settings, giving them granular control over how data flows between devices connected to these ports.
Incorporating this switch module into your network brings flexibility and scalability. By adding more ports without the need for a dedicated switch, you extend your available connections, ideal for growing branch offices or small business environments. The NM-16ESW also supports power over Ethernet (PoE) to simplify the infrastructure needs of your network by delivering power to devices such as phones or wireless access points directly via the Ethernet cable.
For environments where functionality, expandability, and device management are crucial, the Cisco NM-16ESW EtherSwitch module offers a reliable solution.
