The Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC-4ESW-POE plug-in module is designed to provide enhanced switching capabilities to Cisco Integrated Services Routers. This module features 4 Fast Ethernet ports that support Layer 2 switching, making it ideal for small to medium-sized networking environments. The module is a managed switch, allowing for precise control and configuration via Cisco’s IOS software, ensuring efficient data routing and switching within a network.
One key feature of this HWIC module is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. This allows the module to provide power to connected PoE-enabled devices, such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, without the need for separate power supplies. This greatly reduces clutter and ensures a streamlined power solution for network devices operating in areas with minimal power sources. The PoE support is aligned with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, providing both standard and high-power PoE options.
The module is designed to be fully integrated with Cisco’s routing platforms, thereby enabling a unified network infrastructure and reducing the requirement for standalone switches. It also supports features like VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), QoS (Quality of Service) management, and security features, providing flexibility with both data and power networking needs. Due to this, the EtherSwitch HWIC-4ESW-POE module is particularly appropriate for distributed networking environments or branch offices where space and resources are limited.
This module is a solid solution for businesses looking to bring switch functionalities directly into their router framework, simplifying network management and device deployment. It is designed to be a versatile, all-in-one managed network solution for various business applications.
