Need help wth the WIC module

[pie8terrr]

We bought a 2651XM with only two FastEthernet ports. Now I am planning to bundle two T1's using MLPPP with this router.

I was told to get two WIC-1DSU-T1-V2.

1)Is this supported in 2651XM? or does it depend on the IOS?

2)What are the differences between WIC-1DSU-T1 and WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 modules? The V2 module is bit expensive. I want to know if I will miss anything if I go with WIC-1DSU-T1 for MLPPP.

3) How about VWIC-2MFT-T1?

Thanks

Hi,

check this reference which points out differences between the two cards.

You should be fine with support of this card in the 2600XMs.

Check the document for specific IOS

The VWIC card is different as it provides support for voice features. Note however, the EOS/EOL announcement:

I believe it's also the case for the older version of the WIC.

I hope this helps, if so please rate.

Thanks, regards.
