HWIC-1FE & HWIC-2FE support on C2821 router

fntowo2009 · ‎01-05-2010

Hi,

I need additional Fast Ethernet ports on a Cisco 2821 router.

I read that the C2821 supports the following:

- up to two HWIC-1FE

- 1 HWIC-2FE

Can I use 2 HWIC-1FE and 1 HWIC-2FE on the same C2821?

I was wondering whether the limitation means either 2 HWIC-1FE or 1 HWIC-2FE.

I'm attaching the related Cisco doc.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Frank,

According to your PDF file a 2821 can install 2 HWIC-1FE and 1 HWIC-2FE

Cisco 2821 1 to 2 may be installed 1 may be installed

Slot 0 to slot 3

Reza,

Thanks for your feedback.

I talked/chated with various Cisco product experts. They told me that I can't use both on a C2821 router. It's either 2 HWIC-1FE or 1 HWIC-2FE, not both... Therefore, the C2821 router can support two additional routed fast ethernet ports only...

Thanks,

Frank
