The Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC (part number HWIC-D-9ESW-POE-RF) is a versatile plug-in module designed to expand the networking capabilities of Cisco routers. This model offers a total of 9 ports and provides managed switching functionality, making it suitable for environments that require robust control over network traffic and configurations. The module can be integrated into a compatible Cisco router to enable switching functionality without the need for additional hardware equipment.
One of the key features of this hardware is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This capability allows the switch to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras over the same Ethernet cables used for data, reducing the need for separate power supplies. This makes the module especially useful in network environments where space and efficiency are important factors.
The Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC also comes with several advanced features for easier network management. As a managed switch, users have the ability to configure and monitor the performance of each port on the network. The module supports a wide range of Layer 2 protocols and offers VLAN functionality, allowing for flexible network segmentation and improved traffic control.
Additionally, this switch module is designed to be a plug-in installation, making it easy to insert into compatible Cisco routers without extensive setup. This allows for quick and efficient deployment of enhanced network switching features in a minimal footprint. In terms of physical specifications, the module is compact, fitting within the integrated Cisco router chassis.
Overall, the HWIC-D-9ESW-POE-RF provides a reliable and flexible solution for enterprises looking to add managed switching and PoE functionality to their existing networking infrastructure.
