The Cisco NM-16ESW is a network module for Cisco Integrated Services Routers that adds sixteen 10/100 Mbps switching ports, enabling LAN expansion and simplified network topologies.
The NM-16ESW is compatible with Cisco 1841, 2811, 2821, 2851, 2911, 2921, 2951, 3745, and select Cisco 3800 and 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers.
Power off the router, remove the blank network module faceplate, slide in the NM-16ESW until it clicks, secure the module with screws, and power on the router.
It supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, port-based VLANs, broadcast storm control, basic QoS, port security, IGMP snooping, and Spanning Tree Protocol.
Yes. The module supports up to 64 VLANs using standard IEEE 802.1Q trunking and VLAN interfaces through the router’s IOS command-line interface.
The NM-16ESW can forward up to 8.8 million packets per second (mpps), ensuring non-blocking wire-speed performance across all 16 ports.
Yes. The module offers basic QoS with four hardware queues, class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ), and traffic policing to prioritize critical applications.
The NM-16ESW draws power directly from the router’s internal power supply—no external power source is needed.
Use standard Category 5e or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors for all 16 Fast Ethernet ports.
No. The NM-16ESW does not provide PoE. For PoE support, consider using a Cisco switch with integrated PoE capabilities.
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(15)T or later is recommended to ensure full feature support and compatibility with the NM-16ESW.
Use the IOS command-line interface with commands like 'show interfaces status' and 'show vlan' to view port link state, speed, duplex, and VLAN assignments.
The module supports port security, MAC address filtering, 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and broadcast/multicast storm control.
Most Cisco ISR platforms allow only one network module per chassis. Check your router’s hardware installation guide for module bay configurations.
Cisco offers a limited lifetime warranty for the NM-16ESW, covering hardware defects and replacement. Terms vary by region—refer to Cisco warranty documentation.
By adding 16 integrated switch ports, the module consolidates routing and switching, reduces hardware complexity, and simplifies VLAN segmentation for growing networks.
