The Cisco C-NIM-8T is a high-density 8-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN Network Interface Module (NIM) designed for the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms. It provides 10/100/1000 Mbps copper connectivity across eight RJ-45 ports. This module features integrated Layer 2 line-rate switching across all ports, with the unique capability to configure the last two ports (ports 7 and 8) as native Layer 3 routed WAN ports, offering full feature parity with the router's embedded WAN interfaces. It includes robust security features with support for IEEE 802.1AE MACsec on all ports and is fully compatible with Cisco SD-WAN (vManage 20.11 or later). It is primarily intended to replace the older ISR 4000 Series NIM-ES2 switch module family, providing enhanced security, reliability, and performance for branch office deployments.
