SM-X-6X1G Description
The SM-X-6X1G is a Cisco 6-port Gigabit Ethernet routed WAN service module for Cisco 4000 Series ISRs with an SM-X slot. The module has six dual-mode GE/SFP ports that run as Layer 3 interfaces, in a single-wide form factor of 40 x 206 x 207 mm. The module does not switch Layer 2 traffic between its ports and does not supply PoE.

Application Scenarios
A branch router that terminates several 1G internet and WAN circuits gets six routed ports from one SM-X slot, with fiber circuits on SFP and copper circuits on RJ45.
In a data room, the module’s routed ports connect to external switches and terminate their Layer 2 trunks, so routing stays on the ISR and not on the switch.

SM-X-6X1G provides six dual-mode GE/SFP routed ports in an SM-X slot, while SM-X-4X1G-1X10G offers either four GE/SFP ports or one 10G SFP+ port, and using the 10G port disables the other ports. A 10G circuit therefore needs SM-X-4X1G-1X10G. Routers with only NIM slots take NIM-2GE-CU-SFP with two ports or NIM-1GE-CU-SFP with one port, and NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is the only one of the four that fits all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs. Of the four, only NIM-2GE-CU-SFP lists 256-bit MACsec, and only the two SM-X modules classify input packets on the module. None of them supplies PoE.
Ordering Checklist
- ISR 4000 hosts with an SM-X slot: Confirm the router is a Cisco ISR 4321, 4331, 4351, 4451 or 4461 with a free SM-X slot. The module fits an SM-X slot, not a NIM slot.
