Prerequisites for the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules

The Cisco IOS version on the Cisco EtherSwitch service modules must be compatible with the Cisco IOS software release and feature set on the router. See the “Feature History for the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules (NME-16ES-1G-P,NME-X-23ES-1G-P,NME-XD-24ES-1S-P,NME-XD-48ES-2S-P)” section on page 1 and the “Feature History for the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules (NME-16ES-1G,NME-X-23ES-1G)” section on page 1.

•To view the router, Cisco IOS software release and feature set, enter the show version command in privileged EXEC mode.

•To view the Cisco EtherSwitch service module IOS version, enter the dir flash: command in privileged EXEC mode.
