EHWICs replacement for a switch

[NInja Black]

Hi,

 A quick Q. I need a 4 port switch to connect between the router and the firewall.

Can a 4-port EHWIC in the router (ISR3925) achieve this? An EHWIC is basically a switch right?

Just want to make sure. Thanks

Hi,

Yes you can install a 4 switch EHWIC.

Have a look at this link
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/3900-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/relevant-interfaces-and-modules.html#esm
Select a card that meets your needs and look at the DATA SHEET
for more info.

( Probably something like EHWIC-4ESG   √ √ √1 4-port single-wide Gb Ethernet switch EHWIC)

Hope this helps
Regards
Alex

Hey Alex,

 I got the EHWIC and need help with confiugring it.

Could you have a look at the question I posted yesterday?

"EHWIC for ASA failover".

Thanks

Hi.

 So I got the EHWIC module and want to replace it with  the switch between the router an the 2 ASAs for ASA failover. Want to confirm the config on the EHWIC to make sure it works right. The router and the ASA belong to /29 subnet.

So all I need to do is conf a 

- SVI on the EHWIC with an IP belonging to this subnet

- Include the interfaces in this VLAN and recable te ASAs to the EHWIC.

 Please let me know if there is anything else I need to consider.

Any insight is appreciated.
