Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco SM-X-NIM-ADPTR?
The Cisco SM-X-NIM-ADPTR is a hardware adapter that enables installation of one Cisco Network Interface Module (NIM) on ISR 4000 Series routers.
Which Cisco ISR 4000 Series models support the SM-X adapter?
All Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers equipped with an SM expansion slot, such as the 4351, 4431, and 4451 models, support the SM-X adapter.
Which NIM modules are compatible with the SM-X adapter?
The SM-X adapter supports all Cisco NIM modules designed for 4000 Series SM slots, including NIM-1G-SFP, NIM-4x1GE, NIM-10G-SFP+, and multiport interfaces.
How do I install the SM-X adapter in my router?
Power off the ISR 4000 router, insert the SM-X adapter into the SM expansion slot, secure it with captive screws, then install your NIM module and power on the system.
Do I need additional licenses or software to use the SM-X adapter?
No additional licenses or software are required; the SM-X adapter is recognized and managed by the standard Cisco IOS XE image on ISR 4000 platforms.
Can I hot-swap the SM-X adapter and NIM module?
No; to maintain system integrity, you must power down the router before installing or removing the SM-X adapter or its NIM module.
How many SM-X adapters can I install in an ISR 4000 router?
You can install up to two SM-X adapters per ISR 4000 router, subject to the number of available SM expansion slots on your model.
What benefits does the SM-X adapter provide?
The SM-X adapter delivers modular network expansion, simplifies interface upgrades, and reduces hardware replacement costs by supporting diverse NIM modules.
What performance impact does the SM-X adapter have?
The SM-X adapter provides full line-rate packet forwarding at the router’s maximum throughput capacity when used with compatible NIM modules.
What are the physical specifications of the SM-X adapter?
Dimensions: 91 mm x 224 mm x 32 mm; Weight: approximately 0.2 kg.
What environmental conditions does the SM-X adapter support?
