The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) is designed to provide robust Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). By integrating this card, branch offices can significantly accelerate various applications, including Metro Ethernet access, inter-VLAN routing, and high-speed connections to local area network switches.

This interface card serves as a versatile solution for businesses looking to enhance their existing network infrastructure. It allows for a more efficient use of high-speed uplinks, enabling branch offices to handle modern services and increased data capacity while maintaining cost-effectiveness across diverse operational environments.

Product overview

The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet HWIC features a single-port, compact design that supports both optical and copper connectivity. A key aspect of its flexibility is the inclusion of a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) slot, which allows users to choose from a wide range of Cisco SFP modules. This modularity ensures that the card can be tailored to specific distance requirements, budget constraints, and future infrastructure expansion plans.

As a true routed port card, it simplifies configuration by allowing IP addresses to be assigned directly to the interface, bypassing the need for complex VLAN trunking setups typically required in Switched Virtual Interface (SVI) configurations. The card is compatible with a broad spectrum of Cisco ISR platforms, and its performance is managed through Cisco IOS Software, which provides advanced networking capabilities such as Quality of Service (QoS), MPLS, and IP Security (IPSec).

Features and benefits

  • Flexible Connectivity: Supports a variety of SFP modules, including standard copper (GLC-T), optical (GLC-LH-SM, GLC-SX-MM, GLC-ZX-SM), and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) options.
  • Advanced Routing & Security: Enables direct IP configuration on the port and supports essential protocols like MPLS, IPSec, and Layer 3 VPNs.
  • Quality of Service (QoS): Includes robust traffic management tools such as Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), traffic shaping, and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to prioritize critical business applications.
  • Network Management: Offers comprehensive monitoring and management support through CiscoWorks, SNMP, RMON, and Cisco NetFlow accounting.
  • High Availability: Ensures network reliability with support for protocols like HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP.
  • Operational Efficiency: Features hot insertion and removal for SFP modules, jumbo frame support (up to 9576 bytes), and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for efficient network segmentation.
  • Multicasting Support: Includes Cisco Group Management Protocol and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for optimized multicast traffic handling.

The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) brings Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to Cisco Integrated Services Routers routers to accelerate applications such as Metro Ethernet access, inter-VLAN routing, and high-speed connectivity to LAN switches.

Overview

The single-port Cisco Gigabit Ethernet HWIC provides Gigabit Ethernet optical and copper connectivity in a compact form factor for all Cisco Integrated Service Routers (ISRs).
The Gigabit Ethernet HWIC enables branch offices to cost-effectively use high-speed uplinks in numerous environments (Figure 1). The enhanced performance of Gigabit Ethernet in Cisco ISRs to enable new applications and services, as well as provide greater capacity for existing inter-VLAN routing and bridging capabilities. Additionally, branch offices can now connect to metropolitan-area networks (MANs).

Note: The HWIC provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity but will not support line rate since the throughput is limited by the platforms.

For flexibility, the HWIC includes one Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) slot to carry any Cisco copper or optical SFP (Table 1), allowing customers to use different SFPs for special distance, cost, existing infrastructure, and future expansion requirements.
Cisco IOS Software provides enhanced capabilities such as quality of service (QoS), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), IP Security (IPSec), and Layer 3 VPNs. Since this is a true routed port card, the user can configure an IP address directly on the HWIC-1GE-SFP interface and does not have to configure the port for VLAN trunking as is done in Switched Virtual Interface (SVI) configurations.

Gigabit Ethernet Applications

Gigabit Ethernet in the Branch Office

In a branch office, the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet HWIC provides a high-speed uplink. Figure 2 shows the HWIC being used to bridge non-routable protocols, while providing Layer 3 connectivity. The HWIC is also useful in situations that require IEEE 802.1q inter-VLAN routing and in any LAN requiring fiber connectivity.

Figure 2. VLAN Trunking Application

Gigabit Ethernet in MANs

Figure 3 shows the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet HWIC used to connect Layer 3 VPNs over a MAN. Cisco IOS Software enables QoS applications such as traffic shaping and Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR). As with VLAN trunking, this is ideal for situations in which fiber connectivity is desirable.
