The Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Module Advanced (part number: SM-ES3-16-P=) is a versatile, high-performance option for expanding network capabilities. This managed switch provides 15 Ethernet ports, allowing for optimal network traffic management. Designed to be a plug-in module, it efficiently integrates with compatible Cisco systems, simplifying installation and configuration for users.
The switch offers advanced features for effective network control, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 operations. These features ensure more precise data handling and routing, catering to diverse network needs. The inclusion of Voice VLAN and Quality of Service (QoS) settings allows prioritisation of voice traffic, which is ideal for organisations utilising Voice over IP (VoIP) communication systems, making this switch suitable for both office and data-intensive environments.
The Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Module provides comprehensive security features to protect data transmission. These include secure management interfaces and robust password options to ensure network safety. The module can be easily managed through various protocols, including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Cisco Network Assistant, which enhances the flexibility for network administrators to monitor and maintain the unit across a network.
The unit’s managed switch capabilities allow for advanced network tailoring, including support for multiple VLANs, trunking, and other essential features found in enterprise-grade network components. This provides users with the ability to segment and control traffic effectively, resulting in optimised performance and security. The module's small size makes it a good choice for space-constrained environments while maintaining the high level of functionality expected from Cisco products.
