Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 Ports

The following sections describe the port numbering and port types on the service modules:

Port Numbering

The Ethernet ports are numbered left to right, top to bottom. The port numbering scheme to configure the ports on the Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 includes the port type (such as gi or gigabitethernet for Gigabit Ethernet), and the switch port number. If you are not using the NIM-ADPTR, the slot number is always 0.

For example, to configure Gigabit Ethernet slot/subslot/port, the interface configuration command would be:

Router(config)# interface gi 0/1/0

Port Types

The following sections describe the port types on the NIM modules:

• 10/100/1000 RJ45 Ports, on page 4

• Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 LEDs, on page 5

10/100/1000 RJ45 Ports

All Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8s, use RJ-45 connectors to provide Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connections.

You can set the 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports for speed and duplex autonegotiation in compliance with IEEE

802.3ab. (The default setting is autonegotiate.)

When set for autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device and advertises its own capabilities. If the connected device also supports autonegotiation, the Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 port negotiates the best connection (that is, the fastest line speed that both devices support and full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it) and configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be within 100 meters (328 feet).

All 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports on the Cisco 8-Port Layer 2 Gibabit Ethernet NIM with POE can provide power to IEEE 802.3at-compliant, IEEE 802.3af-compliant, and Cisco prestandard POE device. Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices are Cisco IP phones, Cisco access points, and some Cisco switches. PoE, formerly referred to as inline power, is available only on the Cisco 8-Port Layer 2 Gibabit Ethernet NIM form factors supported by Cisco modular access routers.

The below table provides information on Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 port speed and duplex mode.

Table 2: Port Speed and Duplex

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Danger

No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open. Statement 1073

For connections outside the building where the equipment is installed, the following ports must be connected through an approved network termination unit with integral circuit protection. Statement 1044

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment and electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic printed circuit cards, such as those used in Cisco service modules are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent equipment failure. Always observe the following procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge damage (ESD) when installing, removing, and replacing any electronic printed circuit cards:

• Make sure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.

• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that it makes good contact with your skin.

• Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

• The wrist strap and clip must be used correctly to ensure proper ESD protection. Periodically confirm that the resistance value of the ESD-preventive wrist strap is between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the router chassis.

General Maintenance Guidelines and Safety Recommendations for Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8s

General Maintenance Guidelines

• Keep the router chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.

• If you remove the chassis cover for any reason, store it in a safe place.

• Do not perform any action that creates a hazard to people or makes equipment unsafe.

• Keep walk areas clear to prevent falls or damage to equipment.

• Follow installation and maintenance procedures as documented by Cisco Systems, Inc.

• Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin when you remove or install an Network Interface Module (NIM). Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal part of the chassis.

• Handle the NIMs by the edges only. NIMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.

Safety Recommendations

To prevent hazardous conditions, follow these safety recommendations while working with this equipment:

• Keep tools away from walk areas where you or others could fall over them.

• Do not wear loose clothing around the router. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves to prevent clothing from being caught in the chassis.

Power Specifications for the Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8s

Product Identifier (PID) : NIM-ES2-8

Version Identifier (VID) : V01

PCB Serial Number : FOC18520K6J

Hardware Revision : 1.0

CLEI Code : IPU3BB3CAACisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.15.00.S - Standard Support Release

Power Specifications for the Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8s

The Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8s supports inline power on IP phones with –30 V power. This allows IP phones to be plugged into a standard RJ-45 jack and be powered from the switch rather than from an AC wall outlet.

The Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 distributes the –30 V power to each of the Ethernet ports that are configured for PoE. Each port can be independently configured for PoE.

Danger

Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072

Connecting to the Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 Ports

Both FE and GE ports are used to connect PCs or workstations to the network.

A 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port can be used as an uplink port to connect to another router or a server, or the GE port can trunk to another Cisco NIM-ES2-4 and Cisco NIM-ES2-8 or switch located in the same chassis or in a separate installation.

Note

Connecting a GE port to the network requires a Category 5 cable with RJ-45 male connectors, not provided with the switch module. Category 5 cables are widely available.
