HWIC-4ESW | Cisco Router High-Speed WAN
Cisco · HMIs & Displays
Description The Cisco HWIC-4ESW is a 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch interface card that adds flexible switching capabilities to Cisco integrated services routers. Designed as a single-wide High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC), it delivers both Layer 2 switching and inter-VLAN Layer 3 routing through the router’s platform, enabling cost-effective integration of switching into branch networks.

(7.82 x 12.04 x 1.93 cm) Weight 79 grams (0.17 lb) Information About HWIC-4ESW The HWIC-4ESW is part of the Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC series, offering four autosensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. Each port can be individually configured, supporting VLAN segmentation and dynamic routing via the host router. The module allows for port-based stacking, enabling multiple EtherSwitch HWICs or modules to be linked together within the same router system. This expands switch port density without requiring external switch hardware. An optional power module enables inline power (PoE) for IP phones or wireless access points, supporting converged voice and data deployments. Key Features: 4x 10/100 Ethernet Ports: Autosensing Layer 2 switching with VLAN support. Layer 3 Inter-VLAN Routing: Traffic between VLANs is routed via the router’s engine. Stacking Capability: One port can be used to stack with another EtherSwitch HWIC or NM. PoE Option Available: Add inline power support with optional external power module. Compact HWIC Form Factor: Saves space and integrates directly into the router chassis. Ideal for Branch Offices: Combines switching and routing in a single modular platform. The HWIC-4ESW is a versatile solution for expanding Ethernet connectivity and VLAN segmentation in Cisco ISR-based networks.
