18 C H A P T E R Connecting Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules This chapter describes how to connect Cisco EtherSwitch service modules. It contains the following sections: • Cisco EtherSwitch Services Modules, page 18-1 • Power Considerations, page 18-13 • Connecting to the EtherSwitch Service Module Ports, page 18-14 • Stacking the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules, page 18-15 Note This document describes the Cisco EtherSwitch service modules only. For information about other Cisco Ethernet switch network modules, see the "Connecting Ethernet Switch Network Modules to a Network" section at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2797/products_module_installation_guide_chapt er09186a00800b168c.html Tip To determine whether your router supports a specific network module, see Table 1-6 on page 1-16. Cisco EtherSwitch Services Modules Cisco EtherSwitch service modules are complete switching platforms and can be stacked with other Cisco switches to form a switching stack integrated with the router and capable of supporting the following features: • Dynamic addition and removal of individual Cisco EtherSwitch service modules from the switching stack • Integrated management through all management interfaces (command-line interface [CLI], Simple Network Management Protocol [SNMP], and HTTP) • Features such as UplinkFast, EtherChannel, and equal-cost routing across the switching stack that provide redundancy and reduce network disruption from individual component failure For information about these and other Cisco EtherSwitch service module features, see the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Modules Feature Guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2797/products_feature_guide09186a0080415bae .html OL-2485-20 Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide 18-1
