Questions & Answers
What is the C-NIM-1X 1-Port 10G SFP/SFP+ NIM Module with MACsec?
The C-NIM-1X is a network interface module offering one 10 Gbps SFP/SFP+ port with built-in MACsec encryption for secure, high-performance connectivity.
Which Cisco routers support the C-NIM-1X module?
The C-NIM-1X is compatible with Cisco ISR 4000 and ASR 1000 Series routers equipped with a Network Interface Module slot.
Does the C-NIM-1X support both SFP and SFP+ transceivers?
Yes, it supports standard 1 Gbps SFP and 10 Gbps SFP+ optical transceivers for flexible uplink options.
What types of fiber optics work with this module?
The module is compatible with single-mode and multi-mode fiber optics, including LC-connector transceivers from Cisco and qualified third parties.
How do I enable MACsec on the C-NIM-1X?
Configure MACsec by defining a key chain, enabling encryption on the interface, and applying the macsec policy in your router’s global configuration mode.
What encryption standards does MACsec support on this module?
MACsec on the C-NIM-1X supports GCM-AES-128, GCM-AES-256, and CBC-MAC encryption for authenticated and encrypted Ethernet links.
What is the maximum throughput of the C-NIM-1X?
The module delivers line-rate throughput of 10 Gbps with hardware-accelerated MACsec processing to minimize performance impact.
How do I install the C-NIM-1X in my router?
Power down the router, insert the module into an empty NIM slot until it clicks, secure the retention screw, then power on and verify with “show platform”.
What is the power consumption of the C-NIM-1X?
Typical power consumption is 4 W for data forwarding and MACsec encryption, with a maximum of 7 W under peak load.
Does the C-NIM-1X require additional licensing?
MACsec encryption may require a Security Technology Package license on ISR 4000 and ASR 1000 Series routers; verify with your Cisco license agreement.
Can I use third-party SFP transceivers with the C-NIM-1X?
Yes, the module interoperates with Cisco-qualified third-party SFP/SFP+ optics, though Cisco-branded transceivers are recommended for full support.
What warranty covers the C-NIM-1X module?
The C-NIM-1X is covered by Cisco’s standard 1-year limited hardware warranty; extended support and Smart Net options are available.
How do I verify the module is working after installation?
Use “show platform hardware slot <slot> status” and “show interface <interface> status” to confirm the module is recognized and the link is up.
What are the typical use cases for the C-NIM-1X?
Ideal for secure WAN uplinks, data center interconnects, and service provider edge deployments requiring 10 Gbps throughput with MACsec encryption.
How do I upgrade the firmware for the C-NIM-1X module?
Use the Cisco IOS “archive download-sw” command to upload the latest platform package, then reboot the router to apply the firmware update.
What environmental specifications apply to the C-NIM-1X?
Operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 45 °C, relative humidity from 5% to 85% non-condensing, and compliance with Cisco’s NEBSGR-63 requirements.
