Compatible Cisco Router Models
The WIC-1ENET Cisco Single-Port Ethernet Interface Card is compatible with a variety of Cisco router models, including:
- Cisco 1800 Series Routers (1801, 1802, 1803, 1811, 1812, 1841, 1842)
- Cisco 2800 Series Routers (2801, 2802, 2811, 2821, 2851)
- Cisco 3800 Series Routers (3825, 3845)
- Cisco 2900 Series Routers (2901, 2911, 2921, 2951)
- Cisco 3900 Series Routers (3925, 3945)
It is important to note that the WIC-1ENET is not compatible with the Cisco 800 Series Routers. Additionally, the card may not be compatible with all versions of the routers listed above, so it is important to check the specific version of the router before purchasing the WIC-1ENET.
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces using the WIC-1ENET
The WIC-1ENET Cisco Single-Port Ethernet Interface Card is a network interface card that can be installed in a Cisco router to provide an additional Ethernet port for connecting to a network. The card is designed for use in a variety of Cisco routers, including the 1800, 1900, 2800, and 3800 series.
To configure the Ethernet interface on the WIC-1ENET card, you will need to access the router’s command-line interface (CLI) and enter the appropriate commands. The basic steps for configuring the interface are as follows:
- Connect the Ethernet cable from the network to the WIC-1ENET card’s port.
- Access the router’s CLI by connecting to it through a console or Telnet connection.
- Enter the “enable” command to enter privileged mode.
- Enter the “configure terminal” command to enter configuration mode.
- Enter the “interface” command followed by the name of the interface you want to configure (for example, “interface fastethernet 0/0”).
- Enter the “ip address” command followed by the IP address and subnet mask you want to assign to the interface (for example, “ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0”).
- Enter the “no shutdown” command to enable the interface.
- Enter the “end” command to exit configuration mode.
- Enter the “show ip interface brief” command to verify that the interface is up and has the correct IP address and subnet mask.
It is important to note that the commands and syntax may vary slightly depending on the specific router model and version of Cisco IOS software that is running on the router. It is also important to consult the router’s documentation and the Cisco IOS command reference for more detailed information on configuring Ethernet interfaces.
Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues
- Verify that the cable is properly connected to the WIC-1ENET card and the network device.
- Check that the cable is not damaged or frayed.
- Make sure that the network device is configured with the correct IP address and subnet mask.
- Check the status of the WIC-1ENET card by using the show interface command in the Cisco IOS. The status should be “up” and the line protocol should be “up”.
- Check the status of the network device by using the appropriate command for that device.
- Make sure that the network device is configured with the correct duplex and speed settings.
- Check that the network device is not configured with any access control lists (ACLs) that are blocking traffic from the WIC-1ENET card.
- Check the status of the network switch or router that the WIC-1ENET card is connected to.
- Check for any error messages on the WIC-1ENET card or network device.
- If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try replacing the cable and/or the WIC-1ENET card to rule out hardware failure.
