The Cisco SM-X Layer2 EtherSwitch Service Module is crafted to reduce your company's total cost of ownership (TCO) by integrating Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports within the Cisco ISR4000 Series routers. Extending the power of intent-based networking, this integration allows network administrators to configure a single box for all LAN and WAN needs lowering network complexity and maintenance.
Product overview
The Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Modules provides for an enterprise class line of features on the Cisco ISR 4000 series routers, greatly expanding the capabilities of the router by integrating industry-leading Layer 2 switching with feature sets that are built on the lines of those found in the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches.
Product highlights
- Up to 48 ports of a combination of Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) and Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE) capability
- Diverse downlink capabilities on a single module supporting data, PoE+ UPOE or 2.5G mGig
- Up to 2x 10G of SFP+ Fiber Uplinks with up to 10G connection to MGF switch fabric
- UADP 2.0 Mini compliant ASIC offers customers optimized scale with better cost structure
- Enhanced security with AES-128 MACsec encryption[2], and trustworthy systems
- Support for SDWAN configuration and setup through the Cisco vManage
- Device Authentication through support for 802.1x capabilities
- Support for local line rate local line-rate switching as also support for direct service module-to-service module communication through the ISR 4K Multigigabit Fabric (MGF), separating LAN traffic from WAN resources.
- Cisco IOS XE:
- Support for the service module at IP Base with no additional module based licenses needed
- Simplified programing through Netconf and YANG modelling
- ASIC with programmable pipeline and micro-engine capabilities, supporting Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding (in conjunction with the router) and Quality of Service (QoS)
- The Cisco SM-X Layer2 EtherSwitch Service Module takes advantage of the increased capabilities on the Cisco UADP module to provide scale, security and ease of operation. Because the Cisco SM-X Layer2 EtherSwitch Service Modules support the same UADP 1.0 ASIC as the Catalyst 9200 it allows the module to provide a ubiquitous configuration at headquarters and at the branch office to create a consistent experience throughout your network.
