NME-IPS-K9 Use Case
Branch Office Malware Prevention with NME-IPS-K9 on Cisco 2811/2821
A national retailer deploys the NME-IPS-K9-Cisco IPS NM on Cisco 2811 and 2821 routers across 120 branch locations to inspect 200 Mbps of traffic per site and block POS malware, phishing payloads and internal reconnaissance in real time. Outcome: Achieves a 99.8% threat mitigation rate, maintains PCI-DSS compliance, reduces security incidents by 60%, and centralizes logging for audit readiness.
Industrial Control System Security with NME-IPS-K9 on Cisco 2851
A global manufacturer integrates the NME-IPS-K9-Cisco IPS NM on Cisco 2851 routers in 18 production plants to monitor SCADA/OT traffic, detect lateral movement and prevent zero-day exploits targeting PLCs and HMIs. Outcome: Cuts unplanned downtime by 35%, halves incident response time, enforces network segmentation and ensures compliance with NIST SP 800-82 guidelines.
High-Performance Perimeter Defense with NME-IPS-K9 on Cisco 3800
A financial services firm installs the NME-IPS-K9-Cisco IPS NM on Cisco 3800 series routers at its data-center perimeter to inspect up to 1 Gbps of encrypted and non-encrypted traffic, enforce advanced threat signatures and integrate with Cisco SecureX for unified visibility. Outcome: Improves threat detection by 45%, simplifies security management, and meets GDPR and SOX compliance requirements.

Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco NME-IPS-K9 network module?
The Cisco NME-IPS-K9 is a hardware-based Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) network module designed for high-performance threat detection and mitigation in Cisco 2811, 2821, 2851, and 3800 series routers.
Which Cisco routers are compatible with the NME-IPS-K9?
The NME-IPS-K9 is compatible with Cisco 2811, 2821, 2851, and all Cisco 3800 series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) that feature the NM-2 slot.
What intrusion prevention features does the Cisco NME-IPS-K9 support?
The module supports signature-based detection, anomaly-based detection, deep packet inspection, policy enforcement, and real-time threat prevention to block known and emerging attacks.
What throughput performance can I expect from the NME-IPS-K9?
Out of the box, the NME-IPS-K9 delivers up to 200 Mbps of IPS throughput; you can unlock up to 1 Gbps with an optional Cisco performance license.
What are the hardware specifications of the Cisco NME-IPS-K9?
The module features two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 256 MB of DRAM, 128 MB of flash memory, and a dedicated security processor for low-latency packet inspection.
How do I install the Cisco NME-IPS-K9 in my router?
Power down the router, insert the NME-IPS-K9 into the NM-2 slot, secure it with the captive screw, then power up the router to automatically detect the module.
Does the Cisco NME-IPS-K9 require additional licensing?
The NME-IPS-K9 includes the base IPS feature set; an optional performance license is available to increase throughput from 200 Mbps to 1 Gbps.
