Information About the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules

NME-XD-48ES-2S-P—Extended double-wide Cisco EtherSwitch service module with

48 10/100-Mbps PoE ports, and 2 small form-factor pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet service module ports

NME-XD-24ES-1S-P—Extended double-wide Cisco EtherSwitch service module with 24 10/100-Mbps PoE ports, 1 SFP port, and 2 Cisco StackWise ports

Software Features and Benefits

The Cisco EtherSwitch service modules are shipped with either of these software images installed:

IP base image, which provides Layer 2+ features (enterprise-class intelligent services). These features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, and the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Cisco EtherSwitch service modules with the IP base image installed can be upgraded to the IP services image.

IP services image, which provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services. It includes all IP base image features plus full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing, IP multicast routing, and fallback bridging). To distinguish it from the Layer 2+ static routing and RIP, the IP services image includes protocols such as the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol.

Some features noted in this section are available only on the cryptographic versions of the IP base image and IP services image. You must obtain authorization to use this feature and to download the cryptographic version of the software from Cisco.com.
