Available
LAN connectivity network modules for the Cisco
3600 series include the following:
Fast
Ethernet
- NM-1FE-TX
- One-port Fast Ethernet (TX interface)
- NM-1FE-FX
- One-port Fast Ethernet (FX interface)
Ethernet
- NM-4E
- Four-port Ethernet
- NM-1E
- One-port Ethernet
- NM-1E2W
- One-port Ethernet plus two WAN interface
card slots
- NM-2E2W
- Two-port Ethernet plus two WAN interface
card slots
Token
Ring
- NM-1E1RW
- One-port Token Ring, one-port Ethernet
plus two WAN interface card slots
Ideal for a wide range of LAN applications,
the Fast Ethernet network modules support
many internetworking features and standards.
Single port network modules offer autosensing
10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX Ethernet. The TX
version supports virtual LAN (VLAN) deployment.
In customer networks, these modules may be
useful for the following:
- Uplink
to Fast Ethernet backbones on Catalyst®
series switches and other Cisco routers
- VLAN
support on the NM-1FE-TX module allows network
managers to group users logically rather
than by physical location, easing adds,
moves, and changes within the network. The
Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol enables
VLAN traffic communication with Catalyst
5000, 5500, and Catalyst 3000 series switches.
- The
Cisco 3600 can provide inter-VLAN routing
services between VLANs on any Catalyst series
switch that supports VLANs. The module will
offer future support the new 802.1Q VLAN
standard.

Five available network modules offer four-port,
single-port, and dual-port Ethernet LAN connectivity
in the Cisco 3600 series for maximum configuration
flexibility as a multifunction platform.
Mixed
Media Network Modules
The mixed-media network modules allow administrators
to configure an Ethernet port (or two ports)
with additional WAN connections using the
WAN interface cards on the same module to
conserve slot space.
For example, as part of a multifunction solution,
a Cisco 3620 platform with a 2E2W can support
two Ethernet LANs, together with two serial/ISDN
backhaul lines, and still allow multiple serial
or ISDN in the same chassis. This solution
outperforms the competition in industry-leading
price/performance.
Four-Port
Ethernet Module
The four-port Ethernet network module provides
industry-leading price/performance, enabling
high-density Ethernet connectivity. The four-port
Ethernet network module offers a lower price
point for multifunction solutions that require
higher-density Ethernet than the mixed-media
network modules.
An example is a Cisco 3640 platform with a
4-port Ethernet network module, 16-port ISDN
Basic Rate Interface (BRI), and a 32 port
Asynchronous serial network module. This configuration
integrates branch office routing requirements
with four Ethernet LAN segments and the mixed
dial requirements of sync/async serial lines
and ISDN.
Single-Port
Ethernet Module
A single-port Ethernet network module allows
customers to choose a configuration at the
right price for their specific applications.
For example, as part of a multifunction solution,
a Cisco 3640 platform with a single Ethernet
connection to a LAN backbone can also support
either six PRI connections to aggregate ISDN
lines, or 24 synchronous/asynchronous ports.
This solution handily outperforms the competition
in industry-leading price/performance.
