About the Cisco NME-16ES-1G Cisco network interface module
The Cisco NME-16ES-1G network interface module expands switching capacity by delivering 17 total switched ports—16 x Fast Ethernet plus 1 x Gigabit Ethernet uplink—enabling enterprise networks to consolidate edge connectivity without replacing core routing infrastructure. This Layer 2 EtherSwitch module installs directly into the NME slot of compatible Cisco Integrated Services Routers, providing immediate port density gains for network engineers and IT infrastructure teams requiring cost-effective branch-office switching expansion.
Built as a genuine Cisco product eligible for TAC support, the NME-16ES-1G integrates 16 x RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports with a dedicated 1 x RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet uplink port connected to the internal router backplane. Management occurs through Cisco IOS CLI on the host ISR chassis, while IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support and IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol enable enterprise-grade network segmentation and redundancy. Deployment requires only the host router's existing Cisco IOS software—no additional licensing or separate management console required.
Compatible Platforms & Branch Office Scenarios
- Install into Cisco 2811, 2821, 2851, 3825, or 3845 Integrated Services Routers to add switching without forklift router replacement
- Enable VLAN segmentation across 16 departmental or guest access ports while uplink traffic flows through the Gigabit Ethernet module connection
- Consolidate branch office access layer switching by replacing external switches with integrated NME slot connectivity
- Deploy redundant spanning tree topologies across multiple NME-16ES-1G modules in distributed ISR platforms
- Support mixed-speed networks where legacy Fast Ethernet devices coexist with 1 Gbps backhaul to the core router uplink
