SM-ES2-24

The Cisco Ether Switch Service Module (SM-ES2-24) integrates a 24-port Ethernet switch directly into compatible Cisco router platforms. It's commonly found in enterprise branch offices and service provider environments where combining routing and switching in a single device is beneficial.

Built for network engineers and IT teams managing mid-sized LANs, it simplifies infrastructure by reducing the need for separate switch hardware. This module offers both Layer 2 switching capabilities and basic VLAN support, making it suitable for segmenting and managing local traffic efficiently.

Key Features

• Delivers 24 Fast Ethernet ports supporting 10/100 Mbps speeds
• Provides integrated Layer 2 switching within the router chassis
• Supports VLANs to organize and secure network segments
• Compatible with various Cisco router models for seamless integration
• Reduces hardware footprint by combining routing and switching functions

Typically deployed in small to medium branch offices, this module streamlines network setup and maintenance by consolidating devices. It plays a key role in environments where space and simplicity matter, helping keep LAN traffic local while maintaining connectivity to wider networks.
