Description

The Catalyst 8000 Series 4-port 1G/10G LAN/WAN network interface module is a Layer 2/3 switch NIM for Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It suits branch-office and small to medium business deployments that need integrated switching and routing, including Ethernet WAN access, Cisco SD-WAN, and high-speed LAN links to top-of-rack data centre switches and servers.

It provides four switched SFP/SFP+ ports running at 100M, 1G or 10G, with line-rate Layer 2 switching on every port. The two highest-numbered ports can be configured as native Layer 3 ports for WAN use. IEEE 802.1AE MACsec is supported, with 128-bit and 256-bit options. All four ports share a single 10 Gbps internal backplane link, so the module is oversubscribed 4:1 at full load. This is a non-PoE module, distinct from the 8-port RJ-45 C-NIM-8T and the 8-port PoE C-NIM-8M.

The module is supported in a NIM slot on the Catalyst 8300 Series only, not the Catalyst 8200 Series, and is not supported on the C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier card. One LAN/WAN module is supported per chassis, and Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1 or later is required. It supports online insertion and removal.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: Which routers is this module supported on?
A: It is supported in a NIM slot on Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms only. It is not supported on the Catalyst 8200 Series or on the C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier card.

Q: Does it need a separate licence?
A: No separate module licence is stated. The module runs under the host Catalyst 8300 router's Cisco IOS XE and DNA software licensing.

Q: Does this module provide PoE?
A: No. It has no PoE support. For a PoE option, look at the C-NIM-8M 8-port module instead.

Q: What software version is required?
A: Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1 or later is required on the host Catalyst 8300 router.

Q: Can the ports be used for routed WAN links?
A: Yes. All four ports switch at Layer 2, and the last two ports can be configured as native Layer 3 ports for WAN use.

Q: How does it differ from C-NIM-8T and C-NIM-8M?
A: This module has four SFP/SFP+ ports at 1G/10G with no PoE. C-NIM-8T has eight RJ-45 ports at 10M/100M/1G, and C-NIM-8M has eight 100M/1G/2.5G PoE ports.
