Cisco EtherSwitch Network Modules
16- and 36-Port 10/100 Ethernet Modules for Cisco 2600/2800/3600/3700/3800
Series Routers
Figure 1. Cisco 16-Port and 36-Port EtherSwitch Network Modules
The Cisco 16- and 36-port 10/100 EtherSwitch modules for Cisco 2600, 2800, 3600, 3700, 3800
series routers offer branch office customers the option to integrate switching and routing in one
platform. Combining robust Layer 3 flexible WAN routing with low-density line-rate Layer 2
switching, the EtherSwitch modules provide straightforward configuration, easy deployment
and integrated management in a single platform.
The EtherSwitch options include a 16-port network module (NM) and a 36-port high density service
module (HDSM) version. The 36-port HDSM utilizes the extra capacity from the wider interface
form factor available only on the Cisco 2851, 3660, 3700, and 3800 series routers to increase
the maximum possible port densities. The 16-port EtherSwitch NM is available for the Cisco 2600,
2800, 3600, 3700, and 3800 series routers.
The combination of Cisco 2600, 2800, 3600, 3700, and 3800 Series routers and the EtherSwitch
modules utilize the powerful features available in both Cisco IOS® software and Catalyst
switching. The EtherSwitch module hardware supports 802.1p Layer 2 prioritization, while Cisco
IOS software supports Layer 3 DiffServ and Class of Service (CoS) markings for critical business
data. Coupling Layer 2/3 prioritization techniques, with the QoS for the WAN, this integrated
routing and switching combination ensures low latency for critical business applications. The Cisco
EtherSwitch modules includes 10/100 switched Ethernet ports with options for Cisco pre-standard
power over ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. Features such as port autosensing, QoS and VLAN
support from 802.1p and 802.1Q standards, and 802.1D Spanning Tree protocols are standard on
the EtherSwitch modules.
