CISCO ETHERSWITCH SUPPORT
Q. Which integrated switching modules are supported on the Cisco 3800 Series?
A. The Cisco 3800 Series supports the 16- and 36-port Cisco EtherSwitch modules, and the new 4- and 9-port Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs. These
modules allow Cisco 3800 Series customers to integrate high-performance Layer 2 switching into their routing chassis. All three network modules
have autosensing 10/100 ports, and line-rate Layer 2 performance between ports. All three offer optional copper Gigabit Ethernet and inline power
for IP phones and Cisco Aironet wireless base stations. Features such as port autosensing, QoS and VLAN support from 802.1p and 802.1Q
standards, and 802.1D Spanning Tree protocols are also available.
Q. What are the part numbers for the new Cisco EtherSwitch modules?
A. Table 12 lists the part numbers for the new Cisco EtherSwitch modules.

Q. What do Cisco EtherSwitch modules offer the branch office?
A. Cisco EtherSwitch modules offer a cost-effective, integrated, single-device solution for enterprises deploying converged IP telephony,
extending data, voice, and video by delivering IP routing, Ethernet switching, and fixed wireless solutions.
Q. How many Cisco EtherSwitch modules can be installed on a Cisco 3800 Series system?
A. Up to two modules. Configurations with two modules require that the Cisco EtherSwitch modules are stacked. A Cisco EtherSwitch HWIC can
be stacked with a Cisco EtherSwitch network module by connecting the Gigabit Ethernet port of the network module to a Fast Ethernet port of a
HWIC card. Similarly, two Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs or network modules can be stacked by connecting to each other.
Q. How many Fast Ethernet ports can be supported on a Cisco 3800 Series system?
A. The Cisco 3825 router supports up to 52 ports by using one 16-port and one 36-port Cisco EtherSwitch module. The Cisco 3845
router supports up to 72 ports by using two 36-port Cisco EtherSwitch modules. Cisco EtherSwitch HWICs may be installed in place
of or in combination with Cisco EtherSwitch modules, but a maximum of two Cisco EtherSwitch devices are configurable per platform.
