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. (Refer to Figure 1.)



Features and Benefits



This table gives the architecture, features, and benefits of the Cisco 4- and 9-port HWICs.
















































































Feature



Benefit



4 or 9 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports



• These ports deliver up to 200 Mbps of aggregate bandwidth (full duplex) for forwarding Layer 2 traffic on each port.


Autosensing, Autonegotiation, and Auto-MDIX (Automatic Media-Dependant Interface Crossed Over)



• The Autosensing feature allows the switch to detect the speed of the attached device and automatically configure the port for 10- or 100-Mbps operation.


• The Autonegotiation feature allows the switch to automatically select half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth on all the ports of the HWIC


• The Auto-MDIX feature allows the switch to automatically detect cable type (straight through vs. crossover) between the attached Ethernet device and switch line pairs.


Integrated Switching



• Integrated switching provides fewer points of management for remote and small branch offices.


802.1P QoS (Traffic Prioritization)



• This feature provides support for QoS based on the IEEE class of service (CoS) and port-based prioritization, allowing the switch to change the CoS settings of tagged packets on a per-port basis.


802.1Q Trunking



• This feature allows the setup of separate VLANs with tagged and untagged framing; trunking is used to save ports when creating a link between two devices implementing VLANs; VLANs allow segmentation of the LAN.


802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol



• This Layer 2 link-management protocol provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network; it simplifies network configuration and improves fault tolerance.


Voice VLAN (VVLAN)



• VVLANs help enable Cisco IP phones to place voice and data in their own separate VLANs. The HWIC switch port is manually configured as a trunk port to support voice and data VLANs on the same port. The switch then uses Cisco Discovery to dynamically configure the Cisco IP phones.


802.1x Authentication



• This client-server-based access control and authentication protocol restricts unauthorized devices from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports.


PoE (Option)



• Cisco EtherSwitch technology with the appropriate inline power module and internal power supply can power Cisco IP phones and wireless access points. Support is provided for both IEEE 802.3af PoE and Cisco prestandard inline powered devices. The ninth port of the 9-port HWIC (part number HWIC-D-9ESW-POE) cannot be used for PoE applications. The PoE option is not available on the Cisco 1841 router.


Multicast Management Support



• This feature offers Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping in hardware for management support.


Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management



• SNMP allows management of the MIB through a MIB browser.


Cisco IOS Software Command-Line Interface (CLI)



• This feature provides configuration through the Cisco IOS Software CLI and provides a common user interface for all the router functions.


CiscoWorks Support



• CiscoWorks network management software helps enable manageability on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs.


• SNMPv1, v2, and v3 (noncryptographic) and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI management console provides detailed out-of-band management.


• Cisco Discovery Protocol Versions 1 and 2 help enable a CiscoWorks network management station to automatically discover the switch in a network topology.


• Support is provided by the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution.


Cisco Discovery Protocol Versions 1 and 2



• This protocol enables a CiscoWorks network management station to automatically discover the switch in a network topology.


VLAN Trunking Protocols (Client, Server, and Transparent Modes)



• The Cisco Virtual Lan Trunking Protocol (VTP) supports dynamic VLAN configuration across Cisco switches.


Cisco Secure Router and Device Manager (SDM)-Based Configuration and Device Management



• This feature simplifies initial configuration of a switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.


• Cisco SDM reduces the cost of deployment by helping less-skilled personnel set up switches quickly and simply.


Status LEDs



• Two LEDs per port provide convenient visual indication of the switch port and inline power status.

Insulation and outside cover materials tough to cut and strip.
Size: 30ft, Style: 10 Gauge
Made in China. Wire works fine but the materials used for insulation and the outer cover are a pain to separate and strip for use. This isn’t like Ancor wire!

Well worth it, Cost efficient and heavy duty! don't hesitate just buy!!
Size: 100ft, Style: 14 Gauge
Very nice and durable wire. well insulated, neatly wrapped and held secure in roll with velcro straps and wire is flexible enough but at the same time sturdy for any job. Wire strippers had no problem pulling insulation coat off. all 100 foot of wire was used on a new pontoon build and will be ordering more from these guys. If you are looking at a couple options of which wire will do you the best look no further and hit BUY NOW!

My Denon ROCKS
Style: AVR-X3800H
Pros: Nine Amps power a 9.1 or 7.1.2 or 5.2.4 speaker configuration because most of us want Atmos to work in our listening room. Plenty of power available in each amp and each configuration Atmos DTS IMAX plus any other codec or audio visual enhancement is available. Yes, 4K 8K HDR all supported. Three HDMI outputs Preamp output for up to 11 channels so any combination of preamp vs. power amplifier output is available. But not both preamp AND power amp for the same channel. And you can pick and choose which channel you want for pre amp vs power amp individually. So it can function as a AV Preamp Processor at very reasonable price point. DAC (changes Digital Signal to Analog) with all the power amplifiers you could want. High quality, including DSD, is an added bonus. Setup customizable to the nth degree. Some people might say too many options but that’s the way we get this AVR to meet our individual requirements I’ve been working with the setup for the last week and have dialed in for my needs. Still playing with the HEOS but I think it’s working well for now. Various HDMI inputs need different surround settings, I like the DTS best, but the unit has a way to include default settings for each HDMI. I’ll use default settings with my BluRay. And I’ll use direct or pure or whatever the source allows for music and streaming. And most users will want a streaming stick like the Amazon one otherwise you can’t get the Atmos signal to work. Older streamers won’t pass the Atmos signal though. The only problem with a device like this is you will buy more speakers and amps and possibly even more subwoofers, the unit will support 4 subwoofers. Enjoy So I will get back to you with comments about longer term issues. BTW the 3800 was a refurbished version for $999 . Definitely an excellent value. The online reviews are quite favorable. Even the audiophiles are still learning the nuances of setup. It’s worth the extra effort to get the most out of each user’s individual existing equipment. Cons: None. I’ve been an audio video nerd for decades so I can say that the setup effort is easily justified once the user, with user manual in hand, patiently works out the desired configuration. The audio expert online information is invaluable. I have 21MBS broadband service in my region. Even with this limitation I have more than enough added capacity with the Denon that I would never return it to seller unless someone catastrophic happened. Yes I like it that much.
