Description

The C-NIM-1X is a single-port 1/10G SFP/SFP+ Layer 3 Network Interface Module for the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It adds a routed WAN port to branch and edge deployments, including SD-WAN and SASE designs that need an extra fibre uplink.

The module provides one SFP/SFP+ port running at 1G or 10G, with hardware-based WAN MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) encryption for secure connections. It delivers Layer 3 feature parity with the embedded Layer 3 ports on the host router, extending port density at up to 10Gbps without adding a separate device.

It fits the NIM slots on the Catalyst 8300 models C8300-2N2S-4T2X, C8300-2N2S-6T, C8300-1N1S-4T2X and C8300-1N1S-6T. The 2RU models offer two NIM slots and the 1RU models offer one. The host platform requires Cisco IOS XE 17.3.2 or later.
