C3KX-NM-10G switch service module

[lcaruso]

Hi,

I thought the C3KX-NM-10G would show up as a switch service module according to the documentation for upgrading the code. Why isn't this listed but shows up in inventory?

Thanks.

Hi there,

A Service Module by definition brings additional functionallity to a platform: VPN, firewall, IDS.

The C3KX-NM-10G is a scalability upgrade for the 3K, but its function of just pushing packets (faster) doesn't change.

cheers,

Seb.

C3KX-SM-10G is the service module (with added functionality) for C3750X (C3KX-NM-10G is just a network module)...

Hi,

C3KX-NM-10G is a Network Module and not a Service Module which means that the NM does not use internal IOS and should not be shown in the switch service-module command. This is an expected behavior.

Thanks,

Arun
