The information you provided is very limited. But still I will say you can use Fast Ethernet interface if you have purchased a Ethernet connection.

If you want further assistance please provide us extra information.

Hi Manohar,

No need. You can use 2 FE ports available on your router at present.

See the following URL...

"The new HWICs provide additional Layer 3 routed ports with features equivalent to those on the motherboard of the integrated services routers. "

With best regards...
