Cisco SM-ES2-16-P Enhanced Ether Switch L2 SM 15 FE 1 GE POE SMES216P

Description:

The Cisco SM-ES2-16-P Enhanced EtherSwitch Service Module is used in Cisco Integrated Services Routers to provide Layer 2 switching capabilities with Power over Ethernet (PoE) for connected network devices. Commonly installed in enterprise branch offices, campus networks, and telecommunications environments where routers require integrated switching functionality for connecting IP phones, wireless access points, and other Ethernet devices. Network administrators and system integrators use this module for network expansion, switch integration within router platforms, replacement of existing modules, and deployment of PoE-enabled network infrastructure. 

Applications:

The Cisco SM-ES2-16-P module is widely used in enterprise networking environments where integrated switching is required within Cisco ISR platforms. It is commonly deployed in branch office networks, corporate campus environments, and small enterprise infrastructures where routers provide both WAN connectivity and local switching for IP phones, wireless access points, desktop computers, and other Ethernet-enabled devices requiring Power over Ethernet support.
