I'm concerned that some of the EtherSwitch modules I have (and others that I plan to get) are NOT going to be supported soon.
I'm using these as "poor man's L3 switches" for use in a CCNP-lab at home.
Q1: How much RAM do the EtherSwitch modules have? I've not been able to determine definitively if these switches are supported beyond 12.2(25) SEA / SEB. I *have* seen them listed in various documents referencing IOS 15.x, but never expliciting saying that IP Services and/or IOS 15.x is supported. It's quite a challenge to investigate this.
For example, this Table 4 excerpt implies that any EtherSwitch module works with this Release of IP Services:
-------------------------------------------
c3750-ipservicesk9-tar.122-53.SE1.tar
----------------
Catalyst 3750 IP services cryptographic image and device manager files. This image has the Kerberos, SSH, Layer 2+, and full Layer 3 features. This image also runs on the Cisco EtherSwitch service modules.

...But it doesn't specify *which* modules.
Q2: Can anyone provide a pointer for the support of these modules?
NME-16ES-1G-P
NME-23ES-1G-P
NME-XD-24ES-1S-P
Q3:
In general, which of these modules is most like to be supported by 2800 and 3800 Series routers ? (I have a collection of 2851, 2811, and 3825 routers).
Thanks!
