The Ethernet WAN modules for the Cisco® 8000 Series Secure Routers bring high-density Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+ and SFP) connectivity, supporting 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 10-Gbps Ethernet, to the 8000 Series. These modules provide robust, high-performance WAN connectivity, enabling secure and versatile network deployments for enterprises, small businesses, and service providers. With a strong focus on Layer 3 routing capabilities, these modules are ideal for extending secure WAN and Metro Ethernet links and are fully integrated with Cisco's SD-WAN solutions.
Moreover, Layer 3 ports available on these Network Interface Modules (NIMs) have complete feature parity with the router’s embedded WAN ports.
Cisco has introduced two new Ethernet WAN modules designed specifically for the Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers
