SM-ES2-24-P

The Cisco SM-ES2-24-P is a service module designed to extend routing platforms with a reliable Ethernet switching capability. Built for enterprise networks, it offers a compact way to manage multiple wired connections directly through your router.

Often found in branch offices or data centers, this module is ideal for network administrators who need to consolidate routing and switching hardware into a single footprint.

Key Features

• 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting PoE for powering devices like IP phones and wireless access points
• Up to 370 watts of power budget to support multiple powered devices
• Seamless integration with Cisco ISR routers for centralized management
• Supports advanced switching features such as VLANs and QoS
• Compact design reduces the need for additional hardware racks

This switch module is commonly deployed in setups where space and power efficiency are important, such as remote sites or branch offices. It helps simplify network design by combining routing and switching in one device, reducing cable clutter and management complexity.

By enabling Power over Ethernet on all ports, it supports a wide range of network devices without requiring separate power sources, making it a practical choice for expanding network infrastructure.
