Cisco 2821 and HWIC-1GE-SFP=

[Sigeesh Sivadasan]

I have Cisco 2821 router with me. I need to add new GE card on that. Pls let me know whether fru part no HWIC-1GE-SFP will be a compatable part no for Cisco 2821. If yes, pls do let me know which SFP module need to be inserted in that.

Yes, the 2821 supports one such card. SFP would depend on media and, if fiber, distance.

PS:

Keep in mind, the 2821 can't "drive" gig at line rate, nor can the HWIC.
