The link ppcdev gave you will probably provide the info you need, but here's how it works in practice: Smartnet is bought for a chassis and covers the serial number of that chassis. Any module in that chassis is covered including supervisors, power supplies, and all line cards, regardless of serial number. If you buy a new line card later and put it in the covered chassis, it's covered.<br />
<br />
The only exception to this is service modules, which are covered on separate smartnet agreements. These include the NAM, FWSM, etc.

It's best to have the serial numbers of the different parts handy and contact you reseller. &nbsp;If you haven't purchased the ports yet, the reseller can tell you what types of coverage are available and what the costs will be.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
