The NIM-ES2-4 is a Cisco 4-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch network interface module for Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers. It has four 10/100/1000 switched ports with line-rate Layer 2 switching and uses the single-wide NIM form factor, adding switch ports inside the router.
The module measures 0.8 x 3.1 x 4.8 in (2.1 x 7.9 x 12.2 cm) and weighs 79 g (0.17 lb). Each port has four QoS queues, and the module supports up to 60 VLANs with 4094 VLAN IDs. Several LAN switch NIMs in one router can be cascaded over the multigigabit fabric to behave as a single switch, with module-to-module traffic limited to 1 Gbps.
A Cisco 4221, 4321 or 4331 router takes up to two NIM-ES2-4 modules, and a Cisco 4351, 4431 or 4451 router takes up to three. Software support starts with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.15 and the IP Base license of the Universal image. The operating temperature is 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F).
For more ports, see the NIM-ES2-8 8-port LAN switch NIM or the NIM-ES2-8-P 8-port PoE LAN switch NIM. A router that takes it is the ISR4451-X/K9 integrated services router, and more modules are in Cisco interface cards.
