C-NIM-1M Description
The C-NIM-1M is a Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series 1-port 2.5-Gbps/1-Gbps RJ-45 WAN Network Interface Module for Catalyst 8200, 8200L and 8300 edge routers. The module has one RJ-45 port at 100/1000/2500BASE-T, supplies Cisco UPOE+ up to 90W on that port, and requires Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1 or later. WAN MACsec is not supported, and the module inserts online in a NIM slot or through the C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier on Catalyst 8300.

Application Scenarios
A branch whose carrier delivers copper Ethernet plugs into the module’s RJ-45 port, which runs at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps on a Catalyst 8200, 8200L or 8300 router.
A remote site can power an attached PoE device, such as a cellular gateway, from the same RJ-45 port, which supplies up to 90W of UPOE+ from the host router.

C-NIM-1M is the copper mGig option of this group, with one 100/1000/2500BASE-T RJ-45 port that supplies up to 90W of UPOE+, while C-NIM-2T has two dual-mode GE/SFP port groups and lists no PoE. Fiber uplinks, two WAN links in one slot or 256-bit WAN MACsec call for C-NIM-2T, because C-NIM-1M does not support WAN MACsec. A 10G WAN link needs C-NIM-1X, which carries one 1G/10G SFP+ port and 256-bit WAN MACsec but installs only on Catalyst 8300 Series, not on Catalyst 8200 or 8200L hosts. C-NIM-1M and C-NIM-2T both require Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1, while C-NIM-1X starts at 17.3.2.

Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 8300 hosts: Use a Catalyst 8300 Series router such as C8300-1N1S-4T2X or C8300-2N2S-4T2X, in a NIM slot or on a C-SM-NIM-ADPT. The C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier is supported on Catalyst 8300 only.
- Catalyst 8200 hosts: Use a Catalyst 8200 Series or 8200L router, such as C8200-1N-4T or C8200L-1N-4T, in the NIM slot. Catalyst 8200 hosts take the module in the NIM slot only, with no carrier adapter.
