    Overview

    Cisco HWIC-4ESW Overview

    The Cisco HWIC-4ESW is a high-performance Ethernet switch interface module for Cisco integrated services routers, ideal for small and mid-size enterprise branch networks across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. This router module adds four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports to support converged data, voice, and video services while preserving WAN performance. With rich IEEE protocols, VLAN, security, and advanced manageability via SNMP, Telnet, and CLI, it helps distributors, integrators, and end users build scalable, reliable access networks.
