The Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Module Advanced, part number SM-ES3G-24-P, is a versatile and managed network switch designed to expand Ethernet connectivity through a module-based approach. This unit features 24 ports, providing considerable connectivity options for various network devices, making it ideal for medium to large-scale enterprise environments. Additionally, it offers advanced switching capabilities within Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR), promoting a modular networking solution.
The module supports a wide range of network features, including Layer 2 switching with VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) management for enhanced traffic segmentation and improved network security. The switch is fully managed, meaning IT administrators can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot devices remotely, adding flexibility and control over network operations. It also includes QoS (Quality of Service) prioritisation tools, enabling the efficient management of bandwidth, which is particularly effective for handling latency-sensitive applications.
With its plug-in module design, the SM-ES3G-24-P fits seamlessly into Cisco routers, allowing for the expansion of existing infrastructures without the need for additional standalone switches. As part of Cisco's service modules, this switch integrates directly into the router's management framework, sharing resources to simplify network management for administrators and reduce operational costs.
Designed to meet the demands of modern network management, the switch also provides enhanced security features, such as 802.1X authenticated port access, facilitating improved security measures on the network edge. This makes it an excellent fit for secure environments requiring reliable, managed access to data.
