Figure 5.

Small Branch Data and IP Phones with 2851, 2951, 3700, 3800 and 3900 Series

In this example we maintain all the features of Figure 4 above but we have now used the internal IP Phone Power

capabilities from the Cisco 2851, 3700, and 3800 series and added the 36-port EtherSwitch HDSM. The Cisco

EtherSwitch HDSM combined with analog or digital voice modules for the Cisco 2851, 2951, 3700, 3800 and 3900

routers provide a small branch office infrastructure for IP Telephony deployments at a higher port density. This solution

can also be combined with Cisco CallManager IP Telephony and the Cisco IOS Survivable Remote Site Telephony

(SRS Telephony) solution.

Data Communications Networks (DCN)

Another unique application of the Cisco EtherSwitch NM with Cisco 2600, 2800, 2900, 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900 Series

routers is in a Cisco DCN (Data Communications Network) operations and facilities management solution. The Cisco

DCN solution can be deployed using Cisco routers and Catalyst switches and delivers an out-of-band network used by

service providers and large enterprises for managing their primary network. By integrating the routing and switching

functionality into one form factor, service providers and enterprises can achieve a cost-effective solution for their

facilities management, monitoring and billing applications. The benefit is the reduction in valuable floorspace use as

well as the advantages of reduced management, maintenance and training costs.

Software for the Cisco Etherswitch Network Modules

The Cisco 16-port EtherSwitch NM and 36-port EtherSwitch HDSM are supported on Cisco IOS Software release

12.2(8)T and greater versions. Table 2 gives software requirements for the Cisco IOS
