16 port Asynchronous Module Cisco Router Network Module
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Cisco NM-16A network module? +
The NM-16A is an asynchronous network module designed for Cisco modular routers. It provides 16 high-density asynchronous serial ports, allowing administrators to establish console access to multiple networking devices simultaneously. This makes it an ideal solution for out-of-band management or terminal server applications in enterprise rack environments.
Which Cisco router platforms are compatible with the NM-16A module? +
This module is compatible with a wide range of Cisco modular routers, including the 2600, 2800, 3600, 3700, and 3800 series. Because compatibility depends on the router chassis and the IOS version installed, it is recommended to verify your specific hardware configuration and software image support to ensure seamless integration and port recognition.
Does the NM-16A module support hardware flow control? +
Yes, the NM-16A supports standard asynchronous communication protocols. It is designed to handle serial connections effectively for terminal services. When deploying these units, ensure that your cabling and terminal settings match the asynchronous configuration requirements of your connected end-devices to maintain stable, uninterrupted serial data transmission across all 16 ports.
How do I manage the serial ports on the Cisco NM-16A? +
Management is typically handled through the Cisco IOS command-line interface. Each port is mapped as an asynchronous interface, such as Async 0/0/0. You can configure these ports for reverse telnet access, which allows you to connect to the console ports of other routers, switches, or firewalls directly from the host router's command line.
What type of cabling is required to connect devices to the NM-16A? +
The NM-16A utilizes standard high-density cabling interfaces. Typically, you will need breakout cables that convert the module's connection into individual RJ-45 console or serial ports. Using the correct cabling ensures proper signal integrity for your terminal server setup, effectively extending your management reach across your entire rack infrastructure.
Are these used NM-16A units tested for performance? +
All pre-owned NM-16A modules undergo rigorous quality control procedures before being listed for sale. This process ensures that the ports are fully functional and capable of sustaining consistent asynchronous serial traffic, providing you with a reliable and cost-effective method to scale your device management capabilities without the expense of brand-new hardware.
Can the NM-16A be hot-swapped in a Cisco router? +
While many Cisco routers support the insertion and removal of network modules while powered, it is always best practice to consult your specific router chassis documentation. Proper configuration should be saved before any module swap to ensure the router software correctly identifies the NM-16A and assigns the necessary interface resources upon reboot or hot-insertion.
What are the common deployment scenarios for the NM-16A module? +
The most common deployment is as a terminal server. By populating a router with the NM-16A, you create a centralized hub for managing multiple headless devices. This is essential for data centers where engineers need remote console access to network equipment, allowing for rapid troubleshooting and configuration management without physically moving between racks.
How can I request a bulk quote for multiple NM-16A modules? +
