Secure Network Connectivity for Data, Voice, and Video
When inserted within a Cisco 2900 or 3900 Series Integrated Services Router, such as the Cisco 3945 (Figure 2),
the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules provide a fully integrated, secure networking and converged IP
communications solution. From a single platform with an integrated switch, you can connect IP phones, wireless
access points, and IP-based video cameras to your network and power them using the IEEE 802.3af, Cisco ePoE, or
Cisco pre-standard PoE. With the optional integration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, the router
can also provide call-processing for the phones. As users attempt network access through the Cisco Enhanced
EtherSwitch Service Module, the module can use IEEE 802.1x and a large number of Cisco 802.1x extensions to
validate the credentials of the end device and place the user in the appropriate VLAN or Cisco TrustSec group. As
the end-user data leaves the LAN, the router can encrypt the traffic and place it on a multitude of VPNs, securing
communications between branch offices and central sites.
This high degree of convergence simplifies the network architecture and allows for cost-effective deployment of
advanced services at the branch-office level. Furthermore, because the Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service
Modules support the same feature sets as the Cisco Catalyst 2960 and Catalyst 3560-E Switches, you can provide a
ubiquitous configuration at headquarters and at the branch office to create a consistent experience throughout your
network.
