Combining robust Layer 3 flexible WAN routing with low-density line-rate Layer 2 switching, the EtherSwitch modules provide straightforward configuration, easy deployment and integrated management in a single platform.
A Cisco EtherSwitch Network Module in a branch data deployment provides the flexibility of integrated routing and switching functions in one unit for low port densities. This deployment provides high-speed connections between individual desktops, servers, and other network resources in a single unit for Layer 2 and allows WAN connection at Layer 3 through the router.
The Cisco EtherSwitch Network Module combined with analog or digital voice modules for the Cisco Integrated Services Routers provide a small branch office infrastructure for IP Telephony deployments. This solution can be combined with Cisco CallManager IP Telephony and the Cisco IOS Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRS Telephony) solution. SRS Telephony runs on the local branch office router allowing it to automatically detect a failure in the network, and initiates a process to intelligently auto-configure the router to provide call-processing backup redundancy for the IP phones in that office.
