Description

The C-NIM-8M is an 8-port multigigabit switch Network Interface Module for the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It lets a branch edge router also act as a Layer 2 access switch, a good fit for branch-in-a-box deployments that need multigigabit LAN access for Wi-Fi access points and other mGig devices.

Each of the eight RJ45 ports runs at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps. The module supports LAN MACsec in Layer 2 mode and WAN MACsec in Layer 3 mode, with optional Layer 3 routing and full Layer 3 feature parity with the embedded Layer 3 ports. It is part of the LAN/WAN module family and is distinct from the C-NIM-8T (8-port 100M/1G), C-NIM-4X (4-port 1/10G SFP/SFP+) and C-NIM-1M (1-port 2.5G WAN) modules.

The module fits the NIM slots of the Catalyst 8300 Series: C8300-1N1S-4T2X, C8300-1N1S-6T, C8300-2N2S-4T2X and C8300-2N2S-6T. It is powered from the host chassis through the NIM slot. The Catalyst 8300 platform is offered with a Cisco DNA Software subscription.
