The Cisco FlexWAN Module (WS-X6182-2PA) is an expansion module designed to increase the flexibility and scalability of Cisco networking devices, particularly within Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Series routers. This module allows for the integration of WAN interfaces within otherwise LAN-focused systems, bridging the gap between network types and providing seamless connectivity for a variety of network environments.
It supports a wide range of Port Adapters (PAs), which can be selected based on the specific network requirements. From T1/E1 to OC-12 ATM, the adaptability of the Cisco FlexWAN Module makes it ideal for large-scale enterprise networks or data centres that require flexibility in WAN interface allocation.
The WS-X6182-2PA module features dual-port adapter slots, providing the ability to install up to two PAs. This feature enables high-density WAN connectivity, reducing the need for multiple interface cards within a network chassis. Additionally, it offers compatibility with a flexible range of WAN technologies, including Frame Relay, ATM, and PPP, depending on the port adapters installed, delivering scalable and tailored networking solutions.
Performance is another strong suit of this module, designed to ensure high throughput for WAN connections, particularly in medium to large networks where efficient packet handling is critical. Combined with the robust architecture of Cisco routers, this module enhances network performance by managing a variety of WAN connections effectively. Moreover, it’s hot-swappable, allowing for minimal disruption during module upgrades or maintenance.
With a reliable track record, the Cisco FlexWAN Module offers a cost-effective method to deliver advanced WAN services while maximising the capabilities of existing Cisco networking equipment, ensuring a more unified solution that addresses both local and wide area network needs.
