Hi,

With HWIC-4ESW, you cannot configure the interfaces as the L3 ports. You have to put them in a vlan and then use the VLAn SVI for layer 3 communication.

My router is a 2800 and come with 2 ethernet ports.

I want to add 4 additional ethernet ports.

Does Cisco have a solution for it?

The 4 port switch module will work fine...
