NIM-1GE-CU-SFP Description

The NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is a Cisco 1-port Gigabit Ethernet WAN Network Interface Module for Cisco 4000 Series ISR routers. The module has one dual-mode GE/SFP port that takes RJ-45 copper or an SFP optic, runs as a routed Layer 3 port, and fits the NIM slots of all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs. It does not provide Power over Ethernet, MACsec or on-module Layer 2 switching.

Application Scenarios

Routed WAN Handoff On An ISR

At a branch, the module gives a Cisco 4000 Series ISR one more routed Gigabit Ethernet interface for an internet or MPLS circuit delivered over copper or fiber.

Layer 2 Trunk Termination

In a small campus or colocation room, the module’s Layer 3 port ends a Layer 2 trunk from an external switch, since the module has no switching of its own.

NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is the one-port NIM of this group, with a single dual-mode GE/SFP port and no MACsec, while NIM-2GE-CU-SFP adds a second dual-mode port and 256-bit MACsec but is listed only for the Cisco 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, 4451 and 4461, whereas NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is listed for all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs. Six ports or input packet classification on the module need SM-X-6X1G, and a 10G SFP+ port needs SM-X-4X1G-1X10G, which provides four GE ports or one 10G port but not both. Both SM-X modules fit only SM-X slots. All four modules are routed Layer 3 ports without PoE or on-module Layer 2 switching.

Ordering Checklist

  • Cisco 4000 Series ISR hosts: Install the module in any Cisco 4000 Series ISR with a free NIM slot. NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is listed for all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs.

Questions & Answers

  • From which release does NIM-1GE-CU-SFP support auto-switchover and auto-failover?

    Both auto-switchover and auto-failover are supported with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.16. A router below that release runs NIM-1GE-CU-SFP as a plain routed port. Upgrade to IOS XE 3.16 or later before relying on either function with this module.
  • What storage temperature and humidity limits apply to NIM-1GE-CU-SFP?

    NIM-1GE-CU-SFP can be stored from -40°C to 70°C (-38°F to 150°F) at 5% to 95% relative humidity. Keep spare modules inside that range in the warehouse or in a branch cabinet, since the operating limits are tighter and apply only once the module is installed.
  • What are the weight and operating limits of NIM-1GE-CU-SFP?

    NIM-1GE-CU-SFP weighs 240 grams. It operates from 0°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% humidity. Keep the branch router closet within that operating range, since the copper or SFP port is often fitted in unconditioned wiring rooms and small cabinets.
  • Does NIM-1GE-CU-SFP provide PoE or on-module Layer 2 switching?

    No. NIM-1GE-CU-SFP does not provide Power over Ethernet and does not switch on the module, because its single dual-mode GE/SFP port is a routed Layer 3 port. An external switch ends any Layer 2 trunk, and powered devices need their own power source.
