Description

The C-NIM-8T is a Layer 2/3 switch Network Interface Module from the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN Modules family. It suits small and medium-sized business and enterprise branch offices that want integrated LAN switching and Layer 3 WAN ports in a single router module, and it is positioned as the replacement for the ISR 4000 NIM-ES2 switch modules.

The module provides 8 RJ-45 10/100/1000 switched ports with no PoE. The two highest-numbered ports can be configured as native Layer 3 ports, with Layer 3 feature parity to the Catalyst 8300 Series onboard ports. IEEE 802.1AE MACsec is supported, using LAN MACsec in Layer 2 mode and 256-bit WAN MACsec in Layer 3 mode. A 10G backplane connection links it to the host chassis, and it supports online insertion and removal.

It works only in the NIM slots of Catalyst 8200, 8200L and 8300 Series Edge Platforms and requires IOS XE 17.11.1 or later. Only one LAN/WAN module is allowed per chassis. There is no separate licence for the module, and it is supported across Cisco DNA subscriptions on the host platform.

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

FAQs

Q: Which platforms is the C-NIM-8T supported on?
A: It is supported in the NIM slots of Catalyst 8200, 8200L and 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It is not supported in the C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier card.

Q: Does it need a separate licence?
A: No separate licence is needed for the module itself. It runs on the host router's IOS XE 17.11.1 or later Universal image and is supported across Cisco DNA subscriptions.

Q: Does it provide PoE?
A: No. The C-NIM-8T is a non-PoE module and draws power from the host Catalyst 8200 or 8300 chassis.

Q: Can the ports be used as WAN ports?
A: Yes. The two highest-numbered ports can be configured as native Layer 3 ports for WAN use, with 256-bit WAN MACsec available in that mode.

Q: Can I install more than one in a chassis?
A: No. Only one LAN/WAN module is allowed per chassis, and it cannot be combined with NIM-ES2 or C-SM switch modules.
