The new Cisco® Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module (CGR 2010 ESM) greatly expands the capabilities of the Cisco 2000 Series Connected Grid Routers. This module integrates industry-leading Layer 2 and Layer 3 (optional) switching with feature sets comparable to those in Cisco 2520 Connected Grid Switches. It comes in two models, to provide both copper and fiber connectivity options.

The Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module and the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router (CGR 2010) are designed specifically for use in connected energy applications such as:

• Grid automation

• Distributed generation

• Integrated renewable energy

• Trackside substations

• Water, oil, and gas applications

New Features

• Rugged industrial design and substation compliance: IEC-61850-3 and IEEE 1613 for utility substation environments

• Tools for easy deployment, management, and replacement

• Extensive instrumentation and remote diagnostic capabilities

• Advanced quality of service (QoS) capabilities to support mission-critical substation applications such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and IEC 61850 Generic Object-Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) messaging

• Comprehensive network security features based on open standards

Upgrade Paths: The CGR 2010 ESM requires Cisco IOS® Software Release 15.1(04)M or later on the CGR 2010.
