The Cisco NMD-36-ESW-2GIG EtherSwitch is a powerful and versatile network switch designed specifically as a plug-in module for compatible Cisco routers. This switch offers a total of 36 managed Ethernet ports, providing excellent flexibility for small to medium-sized organisations requiring multiple network connections.
The key feature of this module is its ability to deliver managed network performance. Being managed allows admins to control network traffic, configure VLANs, and prioritise certain network tasks for improved efficiency and security. In addition to the standard Fast Ethernet ports, the switch also comes equipped with two Gigabit uplink interfaces, delivering higher speeds when connecting to network backbones or broader systems.
The switch supports a variety of network management protocols, which allows for greater control and monitoring over the network. It is also designed for quick and easy installation, being a plug-in module that integrates seamlessly into existing Cisco environments. As part of the Cisco switch family, it supports other typical networking capabilities such as QoS (quality of service), ensuring the allocation of bandwidth according to specific needs within a network.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not supported on this model, so alternative solutions must be considered if powering connected devices via Ethernet is needed. However, this module still provides a cost-effective and flexible solution for expanding an existing Cisco-based infrastructure.
