Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 EtherSwitch Service
Module Configuration Guide for Cisco 4451-X ISR
April 2, 2014
The Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 EtherSwitch Service Module (Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 ESM) integrates the
Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching features and provides the Cisco 4451-X ISR the ability to use the Cisco
SM-X Layer 2/3 ESM as an independent Layer 3 switch when running the Cisco IOS software.
The Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 ESMs also provide a 1-Gbps connection to the multigigabit fabric (MGF)
for intermodule communication without burdening your router’s CPU.
The Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 ESMs are capable of providing up to 30 watts of power per port with the
robust Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) feature, along with IEEE 802.3AE Media Access Control
Security (MACSec) port-based, hop-to-hop, encryption, and Cisco TrustSec (CTS) which work on
multiple router families.
The following is the feature history for the Cisco SM-X Layer 2/3 ESM:
