[azr.inamdar]

Hello All,

I have Cisco 1905K9 router, Below is the show version and sh licence feature. 

I am trying to create VLAN. But the router doesn't support. Can anyone suggest do I need to upgrade the router IOS? or what needs to done?

Also, I have to add more LAN ports for connectivity. Can I procure EHWIC card for this model of router?

- CISCO 1905 is a serial ISR. 

"The Cisco 1905 builds on the best-in-class offering of the Cisco 1841 Integrated Services Routers. All Cisco 1900 Series ISRs offer embedded hardware encryption acceleration, optional firewall, intrusion prevention, and advanced security services. In addition, the Cisco 1905 Integrated Services Router has a integrated serial interface module and a EWHIC slot which supports a choice of LAN, 3G or ISDN modules."

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/routers/1905-serial-integrated-services-router-isr/data_sheet_c78-598372.pdf

- VLAN is a layer-2 entity.

- EHWIC can provide you with LAN capabilities such as GigEth and Eth switching.

Hi Engineer_aus,

thanks for your reply.

So I understand that, I can add the EHWIC card to Cisco 1905K9 at EHWIC slot, right?

But i don't find any EHWIC card that support Cisco 1905K9. 

Second part, do you mean to say, If i add a LAN card(EHWIC) to the router, will I be able to configure/create dynamic VLANs in the router?

I have activated the evaluation licences. Will they expire after 8 weeks and all my functionalities supported by those licences will go away?

So I understand that, I can add the EHWIC card to Cisco 1905K9 at EHWIC slot, right?

Yes it is for that

Cisco says:

The EHWIC slot replaces the HWIC slot and can natively support HWICs and WAN interface cards

(WICs).

●

One integrated EHWIC slot is available on the Cisco 1905 for flexible configurat

ions supporting achoice of LAN, Serial, 3G, or ISDN modules.

Second part, do you mean to say, If i add a LAN card(EHWIC) to the router, will I be able to configure/create dynamic VLANs in the router?

Yes, the first link explain that this router has vlan capability and the secon explain how configure vlan

If you have license: Evaluation and RighToUse, you can use it when will finish your time of evaluation, if your license is on Evaluation you use it until the period will finish.

Supported modules are listed in the datasheet page 8 in above link.

HWIC-4ESW Four port 10/100 Ethernet switch interface card

EHWIC-4ESG 4-port single-wide Gb Ethernet switch EHWIC

VLAN is a layer 2 term "switch". Once you add EHWIC card you can configure your switch module (including VLAN capability).

In regards to Evaluation License. you need to understand cisco ios licenses*. a PAK should be included in your order then get the license file from www.cisco.com/go/license.

Thank you dmuinoorallo and engineer_aus.

So I understand that I can replace the HWIC slot on cisco 1905K9.

I will order the below EHWIC card and insert in my router for additional 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This will also enable the layer2 services including VLAN creation. right?

The below LAN card is compatible with Cisco 1905K9 right?

I am running the " Version 15.0(1r)M16, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)" - "usbflash0:c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M3.bin" with below packs active permanently. will this allow me to configure Ipsec over GRE tunnel? Or Do I need to upgrade my IOS or any licensing ?
