Cisco C-NIM-8T=

The Cisco C-NIM-8T= is a high-density, Layer 2/Layer 3 configurable Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Module (NIM) designed for the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series Edge Platforms. It provides 8 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps (RJ45) copper connectivity, seamlessly integrating LAN switching and WAN routing capabilities. As a direct upgrade for legacy ISR 4000 modules, it offers enhanced performance, security (MACsec), and flexibility for enterprise branch and SD-WAN environments.

Key Features & Benefits

1. High-Density, Multi-Layer Connectivity

  • 8 x 1G RJ45 Ports: Supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T for full auto-sensing and backward compatibility.

  • Line-Rate Layer 2 Switching: Wire-speed switching on all 8 ports for efficient local traffic handling.

  • Dual Mode Ports: The last 2 highest-numbered ports can be natively configured as Layer 3 WAN/routed ports, matching the feature set of the router's built-in ports.

  • Jumbo Frames: Supports frame sizes up to 8 KB for optimized large-data transfers.

2. Advanced Security with MACsec

  • IEEE 802.1AE MACsec: Full line-rate encryption on all 8 ports.

    • Layer 2 Mode: Supports switch-to-switch MACsec for secure LAN extension.

    • Layer 3 Mode: Supports 256-bit WAN MACsec (Tag-in-Clear) for secure routed connections.

  • Integrated Security: Works with the router's firewall, VPN, and Zero Trust security framework.

3. Performance & Scalability

  • Non-Blocking Architecture: Delivers full wire-speed performance across all ports.

  • VLAN Support: Up to 4095 VLAN IDs and 1024 active VLANs.

  • QoS: 8 egress queues per port, 802.1p class of service, and SD-WRR scheduling.

  • Auto-MDIX: Eliminates crossover cable requirements for simplified deployment.

4. Compatibility & Investment Protection

  • Platform Support: Fully compatible with all Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series and Cisco Catalyst 8200/8200L Series edge platforms.

    • C8300-2N2S-6T, C8300-1N1S-6T, C8300-2N2S-4T2X, C8200-1N-4T, etc.

  • Software Support: Requires Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1a or later.

  • SD-WAN Ready: Fully manageable via Cisco vManage (version 20.11+).
