The Cisco EtherSwitch High-Speed WAN Interface Cards (HWICs) represent a sophisticated networking solution designed to bridge the gap between routing and switching within a single, compact hardware footprint. These modules are engineered specifically for deployment within Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR), including the modular 1800, 1941, 2800, 2900, 3800, and 3900 series. By integrating Cisco Catalyst switching capabilities directly into the router architecture, these cards allow businesses of all sizes, from small offices to large enterprise branches, to streamline their network infrastructure.
This integration significantly simplifies the configuration, deployment, and ongoing management of network resources. Instead of maintaining separate devices for routing and switching, organizations can leverage the power of Cisco IOS software to handle both Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing tasks. This consolidation not only reduces the physical footprint of the networking equipment but also lowers the complexity of the network environment, making it an ideal choice for branch offices that require high-performance connectivity for data, voice, and video applications.
Product overview
The Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC family is available in two primary configurations: the 4-port HWIC-4ESW and the 9-port HWIC-D-9ESW. The 4-port model features a single-wide form factor, while the 9-port model utilizes a double-wide design. Both versions provide line-rate Layer 2 switching through 10/100 Ethernet ports, utilizing the robust Cisco IOS Catalyst software. For environments requiring power for connected devices, such as IP phones or wireless access points, Cisco offers Power over Ethernet (PoE) variants, specifically the HWIC-4ESW-POE and the HWIC-D-9ESW-POE.
These PoE-enabled modules include a daughter card that manages power detection, classification, and activation for devices compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. In the 9-port model, eight ports support inline power, while the ninth port functions as a standard switch port for trunking or general data traffic. To support these power-intensive features, specific field-replaceable power supplies are required for the host ISR routers. The modules also support advanced management features, including VLAN segmentation, which allows for the logical separation of voice and data traffic, even when sharing the same physical infrastructure. This is particularly beneficial for converged network deployments where IP telephony is a critical component of the branch office operations.

Product Overview
The 4- and 9-port Cisco EtherSwitch 10/100 high-speed WAN interface cards (HWICs) supported on the Cisco 1800 (modular)/1941, Cisco 2800/2900, and Cisco 3800/3900 series integrated services routers offer small-to-large-size businesses and enterprise branch office customers the option to integrate switching and routing in one device. This combination offers ease of configuration, deployment, and management while using the powerful characteristics of Cisco routing and Cisco Catalyst switching features.
The modular 4- and 9-port Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs provide line-rate Layer 2 switching across Ethernet ports using Cisco IOS Catalyst Software. The 4-port Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC has four 10/100 switched Ethernet ports, with options for inline power support on all four ports. The 9-port Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC has nine 10/100 switched Ethernet ports, with options for inline power support on 8 of the 9 ports. The ninth port does not support inline power but can be used as a regular switch port for trunking and other normal data applications. Features such as port autosensing, quality of service (QoS), VLAN support from 802.1P and 802.1Q standards, and 802.1D spanning tree protocols are standard on the Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC. The Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs are available in standard 4- or 9-port 10/100BASE-TX switch HWIC and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) configurations. The PoE configurations consist of a 4- or 9-port 10/100BASE-TX switch and a 4- or 8-port inline power module daughter card. The power module daughter card houses a power controller for detecting, classifying, and enabling power on 802.3af-compliant powered devices attached to the HWICs. The inline powered version of the Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC can power Cisco IP phones, Cisco wireless access points, or any other IEEE 802.3af-compliant device. The optional inline power support on the 4- and 9-port HWICs on the Cisco 2800/2900 and Cisco 3800/3900 series of integrated services routers requires the use of a field-replaceable inline power supply.

Applications
Small Branch Data Only
Figure 2 shows an example of a deployment for a small-to-large enterprise branch office.
Figure 2. Typical Data-Only Deployment for a Small-to-Large Enterprise Branch Office
A Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC in an enterprise branch data deployment scenario provides the flexibility of integrated routing and switching functions in one unit for low port densities. This deployment provides high-speed connections between individual desktops, servers, and other network resources in a single unit for Layer 2 and allows WAN connection at Layer 3 through the router.
Figure 3 shows an example of a typical converged deployment for a small-to-large enterprise branch office with IP phones.
Figure 3. Typical Converged Deployment for a Small-to-Large Enterprise Branch Office with IP Phones
Converged IP Communications in a Small-to-Large Enterprise Branch Office with Data Devices and IP Phones
The 4- or 9-port Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs when combined with analog or digital voice modules for the Cisco Integrated Services Routers provide a small-to-large enterprise branch office infrastructure for IP telephony deployments. This solution can be combined with Cisco CallManager Express IP Telephony or the Cisco IOS Software Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) solution. SRST runs on the local branch office router, allowing it to automatically detect a failure in the network, and initiates a process to intelligently autoconfigure the router to provide call-processing backup redundancy for the IP phones in that office. In the case of a Cisco CallManager Express deployment, call-processing features are offered on the branch router without a centralized call manager.
The Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC with the optional internal chassis provides IP phone power and phone discovery for IP phones. In addition, the Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC supports separate VLAN configuration for IP phones. The auxiliary VLAN feature allows network administrators to segment phones into separate logical networks, even though the data and voice infrastructures are physically the same. The phone discovery feature allows the Cisco 4- and 9-port EtherSwitch HWICs (product numbers HWIC-4ESW-POE or HWIC-D-9ESW-POE) to automatically detect the presence of an IP phone and supply inline power.
Features and Benefits
Table 4 gives the architecture, features, and benefits of the Cisco 4- and 9-port HWICs.
Table 4. Architecture, Features, and Benefits of 4- and 9-Port Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs
