Figure 2. Cisco 16-Port EtherSwitch Network Module
Cisco content-engine network modules offer the industry’s first and only router-integrated content-delivery system (see Figure 3). Combining
intelligent caching, content routing, and management with robust branch-office routing conserves WAN bandwidth for important branch IP services
such as VoIP, while simplifying configuration, deployment, and operation.

The Cisco IDS Network Module is part of the Cisco integrated IDS network security solutions that help enable organizations to protect assets and
reduce operating costs (see Figure 4).
The Cisco IDS Network Module is an integrated network module that delivers full-featured intrusion protection. The network module runs the latest
Cisco IDS Sensor Software and is at feature and function parity with the Cisco IDS Sensor portfolio. For the first time you can now locate IDS as an
integral part of the branch-office router, and monitor traffic from all interfaces on that router. If VPN generic routing encapsulation (GRE) and IP
Security (IPSec) tunnels are terminating at the router, the module can monitor the decrypted traffic through collaboration with IPSec VPN and GRE
traffic-an industry first in VPN deployments. The network module can be deployed at branch offices and used to protect branch-office networks,
thereby isolating threats from the corporate site.
