The Cisco EtherSwitch Network Module, part number NM-16ESW-1GIG, is a plug-in module designed to add switching capabilities to Cisco routing platforms. It features 16 ports for Ethernet connections, providing scalability and flexibility for network expansion. This module is highly suitable for integrating switching technology into a broader network environment, particularly where space and resource optimisation are essential.
This network module offers full managed switch functionality, allowing administrators to control and optimise network performance efficiently. With its managed capabilities, users can take advantage of features such as VLAN support, link aggregation, and Quality of Service (QoS) settings to ensure that network traffic is prioritised and handled effectively.
The module supports a Gigabit Ethernet uplink, enabling connections to higher-speed backbone networks or routers. This ensures that the switch can handle higher traffic loads without becoming a bottleneck in the network infrastructure. The plug-in module form factor adds to its versatility by allowing seamless integration into supported Cisco routing platforms without requiring a separate, standalone switch chassis.
In terms of power, the network module can rely on Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which eliminates the need for separate power supplies to connected devices, helping streamline the network’s power provision. Moreover, with Layer 2 switching protocols, the Cisco EtherSwitch module ensures efficient packet forwarding and minimises network response time.
The NM-16ESW-1GIG is especially utilised in enterprise environments or small-to-medium-sized businesses that require high-performance yet flexible network solutions. Its compact form ensures that it can handle network expansion needs while maintaining a strong connection with pre-existing network architecture. This switch module is an ideal choice for offering both performance and manageability.
