End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for
the Cisco 36-Port EtherSwitch Network Modules
Cisco Systems®announces the end-of-sale and end-of life dates for the Cisco®36 Port EtherSwitch network modules
for the Cisco 2600, 2800, 3600, 3700 and 3800 Series routers. The last day to order the affected product is 27-MAR-2007.
Customers with active service contracts will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center
(TAC) until 25-MAR-2012.
Table 1 describes the end-of-life milestones, definitions, and dates for the affected product. Table 2 lists the product part numbers affected by this
announcement.
Cisco encourages customers to migrate to the new Cisco EtherSwitch service modules which greatly expand the capabilities of integrated switching
within Cisco integrated services routers by providing support for new features such as IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), local Layer 3
switching, Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco Emergency Responder, higher port density, and Cisco StackWise interfaces (available on NME-XD-
24-1S-P only), as well as software feature parity with Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switches. Additionally, the new Cisco EtherSwitch service modules
are the first modules that can take full advantage of the increased performance capabilities and new form factors of the enhanced network module
slot on Cisco Integrated Services Routers. For more information about the new EtherSwitch service modules, please visit
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5855/product_data_sheet0900aecd8028d15f.html.
Customers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco EtherSwitch service modules, which provide superior functionality
over the 36 port Cisco EtherSwitch network modules. Information about the replacement product can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5855/product_data_sheet0900aecd8028d15f.html.

PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS
The recommended replacements for the Cisco 36 Port Cisco Ethernet Switching Network Modules are the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules.
Customers who are using the 36-Port Cisco Ethernet Switching Network Modules are encouraged to migrate to either the NME-XD-48ES-2S-P,
NME-XD-24ES-1S-P, NME-X-23ES-1G-P, and NME-X-23ES-1G. The new Cisco EtherSwitch service modules help ensure maximum availability,
high performance, higher port density, ease of upgrade, and expandability and compatibility with the Cat 3750 EtherSwitch. The modules have their
own processors, switching engines, and Flash memory that run independent of the host router resources, helping to ensure maximum concurrent
switching and routing performance and enabling advanced switch features such as localized IP routing on the EtherSwitch service module.
Additionally, Cisco EtherSwitch service modules run their own software, independent of the router’s Cisco IOS Software image, allowing for easy
upgrades and ongoing software feature parity with Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switches. For more information about the new EtherSwitch modules,
please visit http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5855/product_data_sheet0900aecd8028d15f.html.

Ethernet Switching
Network Modules
Cisco Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules
Increased Switch
Port Density •Takes advantage of the NME-X and NME-XD form factors; the NME allows for up to a 1-Gb backplane connection to the host router.
•Allows for new higher-density switch modules.
Independent
Software Image Runs from same IOS as the chassis. •Runs its own Cisco IOS Software image and can be upgraded independent of the host router’s IOS software release.
•The Cisco EtherSwitch service module uses the same software images as the Cisco Catalyst
3750 Series, helping to ensure software feature parity and compatibility.
High-Performance
IP Routing on •The Cisco Express Forwarding hardware routing architecture delivers extremely high- performance IP routing.

Feature Cisco 36 Port Cisco
Ethernet Switching
Network Modules
Cisco Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules
the EtherSwitch
Service Module •Basic IP unicast routing protocols (static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], and
RIPv2) are supported for small-network routing applications.
•IPv6 routing support in hardware allows for maximum performance in the future (IPv6 routing
support requires Advanced IP Services Software).
•Inter-VLAN IP routing enables full Layer 3 routing between two or more VLANs.
•Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol [IGRP], Enhanced IGRP [EIGRP], and Border Gateway Protocol Version 4
[BGPv4]) are supported for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs (requires IP
Services Software).
Extended IEEE
802.1x Support •IEEE 802.1x with VLAN assignment allows a dynamic VLAN assignment for a specific user, regardless of where the user is connected; clients without 802.1x can have limited access via a
guest VLAN.
•IEEE 802.1x with voice VLAN permits an IP phone to access the voice VLAN, regardless of the
authorized or unauthorized state of the port.
•IEEE 802.1x and port security are provided to authenticate the port and manage network
access for all MAC addresses, including that of the client.
•IEEE 802.1x with an access control list (ACL) assignment allows for specific identity-based
security policies, regardless of where the user is connected.
Wire-Speed ACLs •Port-based ACLs allow security policies to be applied on individual switch ports.
•IP ACLs can be processed directly on the Cisco EtherSwitch service module for inter-VLAN
traffic or traffic outbound from any VLAN interface without affecting the router CPU.
Dynamic Host
Control Protocol
(DHCP) Snooping
•Prevents rogue devices from behaving as the DHCP server.
Dynamic Address
Resolution
Protocol (ARP)
Inspection (DAI)
•Maintains a binding table containing IP and MAC address associations that have been
dynamically populated using DHCP snooping.
•Helps to ensure the integrity of user and default gateway information such that traffic cannot be
captured.
IP Source Guard •Automatically configures a port ACL for the IP address, and adds the MAC address to the port
security list for the port. DHCP snooping allows learning and binding of IP address and MAC
address by the switch. Removes ACL and MAC entry when lease expires.
•Prevents snooping of data or anonymous launching of attacks.
Port Security •Limits the number of MAC addresses that are able to connect to a switch and helps ensure that
only approved MAC addresses are able to access the switch.
•Limits MAC flooding attacks, locks down ports, and sends a Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) trap.
Simplified
Management •The user-selectable address learning mode simplifies configuration and enhances security.
•Cisco Network Assistant Software security wizards ease the deployment of security features
for restricting user access to a server, as well as to a portion or all of the network.
