Hi,
Can anyone please help me to know what we can do with HWIC-4ESW card in 1841 router? I am asking this because neither a vlan interface can be created on 1841 nor a port of said card can be converted to routing port. So how will 1841 will do routing between anything connected on HWIC-4ESW port and any other port of router? Thanks.

Hi,
You can certaily create vlan interfaces for it and have the inter-vlan routing done through the router.
n order to assign the IP address to the HWIC-4ESW, please select the interface vlan 1, in
this interface you can assign the wanted IP. After type the no shut command for this
interface, the 4 ports take the IP address to proceed with the VLAN configuration.
router(config)#int vlan 1
router(config-if)#ip address #.#.#.# #.#.#.#
router(config-if)#no shut
If you want to route in the 4 ports, you need to create 4 vlan id's and assign every vlan
to the interface.
You can check this in the next example :
Router# vlan database
Router(vlan)# vlan 2
Router(vlan)# vlan 3
Router(vlan)# exit
Router# conf t
Router(config)# interface Fe0/2
Router(config-if)# switchport mode access
Router(config-if)# switchport access VLAN 2
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# interface Fe0/3
Router(config-if)# switchport mode access
Router(config-if)# switchport access VLAN 3
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# interface VLAN 2
Router(config-if)# ip address
Router(config-if)# no shut
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# interface VLAN 3
Router(config-if)# ip address
Router(config-if)# no shut
Router(config-if)# exit
I am attaching some more info for this module:

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I am testing a 1841 router for the configurating example you posted. Still I haven't inserted HWIC-4ESW card in it. I can create vlans in vlan-database but after exiting from the vlan-database when I try to go to int vlan like:
(Config)#int vlan2
it does not allow me to go to interface. Is it because first I have to insert HWIC-4ESW card in router or any other reason? Thanks again.

Put HWIC there and then test this feature. It will only work with HWIC.
