Product overview The Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Modules provides for an enterprise class line of features on the Cisco ISR 4000 series routers, greatly expanding the capabilities of the router by integrating industry-leading Layer 2 switching with feature sets that are built on the lines of those found in the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches.
Supported models and configurations Table 1 gives specifications of the Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Service Modules. All Gigabit Ethernet ports support auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps. Based on the model up to 8-ports of 2.5G mGig support helps provide uplink connectivity to Access Points and Uplink Expansions, external Advanced 4G LTE and (future) 5G connections.
LED lighting fixtures can draw up to 50W for routine operation. The SM-X EtherSwitch modules can support POE, POE+ and UPOE on any of the RJ45 copper ports (16xGiG + 4xmGiG or 40xGiG + 8xmGiG). All 22 or 48 copper ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE) - 15.4 W and PoE+ up to 30W.
Per-port power consumption control allows you to specify a maximum power setting on an individual ● port. The Cisco PoE MIBs provide proactive visibility into power usage and allow you to set different power - ● level thresholds. Cisco Discovery Protocol Version 2 allows the Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Service Modules to negotiate a ●...

MKA and MACsec are implemented following successful authentication using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) framework. In Cisco Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Modules, both the user and down -link ports (links ● between the switch and endpoint devices such as a PC or IP phone) as well as the network and up-link ports can be secured using MACsec.
Product summary In summary, the Cisco SM-X Layer2 EtherSwitch Service Modules enable a higher level of control and security through the support of per port 802.1x and MACSec capabilities. Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Service Modules also offer enhanced PoE power levels with the introduction of IEEE 802.3at PoE+, broadening the span of network equipment powered from the switch.
Regulatory Compliance, Safety, EMC, Telecommunications, and Network Homologation When installed in a Cisco 4400 or 4300 Series ISR, the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Module does not change the standards (regulatory compliance, safety, EMC, telecom, or network homologation) of the router itself.
