Cisco Router WIC Help!

[PlenumRated]

Hey all! 

 

I have a Cisco 2620 I think and I need a fast ethernet WIC or a Gigabit WIC for it. I am new to Cisco WICs meaning that I don't understand the model #s yet. If anyone knows what WICS go with the router and even find a link to ones on eBay that would be amazing. 

 

 

Thanks,

Cisco WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 

Would this work in 2620?

This page has the supported modules and the firmware required to run them.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/2600-series-multiservice-platforms/product_data_sheet0900aecd800fa5be.html

 

There is a list of all WIC's and which unit they will work in here:

The short story is that the 2620 doesn't seem to have any Ethernet or Fast Ethernet wics. You might be able to find a NM that has some more ports if thats what your after.

 

What is the goal here?

I got the device from a friend along with some 3650 switches that I plan to use for my lab network. My main network also uses Cisco switches but I have a WatchGuard x500 as a pfSense router I made. Anyways I want the WIC for my home lab because I only have one LAN port that is build into the router.

If you're just needing it for a lab and need more ethernet interfaces, you can always trunk the port to a switch and use sub interfaces (so physically you have a single connection) but logically it'll look like more like this:

 

Physically a simple topology looks like:

But logically it looks like:
