The C-NIM-8T is a LAN/WAN module with eight RJ-45 copper line ports. It’s intended primarily to replace the ISR 4000 Series NIM-ES2 switch module family, to which it has full feature parity for Layer 2 switching operation, and also includes added Layer 2 features. It supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet connections, providing a price-effective 8-port LAN switch. As with the C-NIM-4X and C-NIM-8M, the two-highest numbered ports can be configured to work as native Layer 3 ports with full feature parity to the router’s embedded WAN ports. IEEE 802.1AE MACsec is supported as described in the Product Overview.
