The HWIC-D-9ESW= is a Cisco EtherSwitch High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) designed for organisations looking to extend their network with ease. This module offers 9 Ethernet ports, providing a simple and effective way to integrate switching capabilities directly into Cisco Integrated Service Routers (ISRs). The switch operates as a standalone device, meaning each port can be independently configured, akin to a traditional Ethernet switch, enhancing network flexibility and control.
This plug-in module features managed switching capabilities, allowing administrators to configure various functionalities such as VLAN support, QoS settings, and link aggregation, depending on the network’s demands. Since the module integrates directly into existing Cisco hardware, it allows end-users to optimise space and reduce hardware expenses while still benefitting from robust managed switch operations.
Additionally, the HWIC-D-9ESW= supports Layer 2 switching, offering reliable forwarding of traffic with low latency, making it ideal for small to medium-sized branch offices or remote sites. The fact that it's a plug-in module means installation is straightforward, requiring just a compatible Cisco ISR for operation. This ensures minimal disruption during setup and a fast upgrade from non-managed to managed network capabilities.
The module’s management features include Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and VLAN trunking, ensuring network reliability and efficient use of available bandwidth. It also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) but only on select Cisco ISR models, making it versatile depending on your routing infrastructure.
