Consolidation of Branch IT Infrastructure Pain Points Pain Points Pain Points Sales Drivers Despite centralization some applications must remain at the branch Placing physical servers at the branch increases infrastructure complexity Complex infrastructure is inflexible and requires onsite technical knowhow Lack of physical space for IT equipment and wiring Reduce cost of installing or replacing applications Protect investment with flexible infrastructure Reduce need for and frequency of on-site visits to implement changes Pay for infrastructure as needed, not upfront One-application-per-server model increases Capex Most physical servers are underutilized Replacement or upgrade of servers requires costly onsite visit Servers have higher energy consumption Differentiation ISR G2 is a consolidation platform for services the only device on the market that combines routing, switching, security, voice, and applications into one box The only general purpose server for the branch office in the blade server form factor One technical support contract for network equipment, servers, and virtualization 4

19 Configure Network Interfaces of SM-SRE Service Module 1 The service module communicates with the host router through two internal Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces: One GE interface connects to the router Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) (refer to interface GE0 ) This interface is sm slot/0 and is configured through the Cisco IOS Software CLI. After the interface is configured, the vsphere client communicates with the VMware vsphere Hypervisor through this interface. 19

20 Configure Network Interfaces of SM- SRE Service Module 2 through The other GE interface connects to the Multigigabit fabric (MGF) (refer to interface GE1). This interface, sm slot/1, is also configured the Cisco IOS Software CLI. 20

21 3 vsphere Configure Network Interfaces of SM- SRE Service Module The third GE interface is located on the external face plate of the Cisco SRE Service Module (refer to interface GE2). This Gigabit Ethernet interface is configured and managed by the VMware Hypervisor. 21
