compatibility

[markcrawford0493]

i was wondering if a switch interface card (HWIC-D-9ESW) from a cisco 2811 router is compatible with a cisco 2911 router?

Hi
yes it should be looking at the supported modules doc but states its a POE one on 29 series , maybe a newer version card

HWIC-D-9ESW-POE √ √ √

Thats fine there is a minimum version for the hardware to accept it but your past it at 15.2 so your good to go

HWIC-D-9ESW is supported in the 2911 (as long as the router is loaded with the correct firmware).
