SM-D-ES3-48-P

The SM-D-ES3-48-P is a service module that adds 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports to compatible Cisco routers, enabling expanded network capacity and streamlined management. It is commonly used in enterprise environments where robust switching capabilities are required directly within the router chassis.

Built for network engineers and administrators, this switch module helps consolidate infrastructure by combining routing and switching functions into a single device. It's often found in data centers and large office setups where efficient network segmentation and high port density are important.

Key Features

• Offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports for flexible connectivity
• Integrates seamlessly with Cisco router platforms
• Supports Power over Ethernet for connected devices
• Enables simplified network design with combined routing and switching
• Supports advanced management and QoS features

In practice, this module is typically installed in Cisco service routers to handle local area network traffic and provide efficient packet switching. Its role is critical in environments needing a balance of routing performance and comprehensive Ethernet connectivity without additional standalone switches.
