Reading this and your other post - here's a little more info for you.
Each of the 4 ports on the HWIC could be assigned to their own VLAN and
associated SVI.
In essence you could have up to 6 ethernet ports all on seperate networks if
you like.
Fa0/0 - onboard
Fa0/1 - onboard
HWIC0 - Layer 2 Port attached to SVI 1
HWIC1 - Layer 2 Port attached to SVI 2
HWIC2 - Layer 2 Port attached to SVI 3
HWIC3 - Layer 2 Port attached to SVI 4
So for example you need another ethernet port to connect and route to
another ISP therefore you would:
* Create a local VLAN on the router via vlan database mode (say VLAN 10)
* In global config you'd create the interface VLAN 10 and assign IP etc
to it (int vlan 10, etc...)
* Under interface configuration of say HWIC port 0 you'd assign the
access switchport to VLAN 10 (switchport access vlan 10)
Good luck with it!

Hi Con,
In this situation the device it connects to be in the same vlan?. Because I
don't have access to the provider end which is the other end connects to the
4esw.

You can't add an IP address directly onto the HWIC port. You'll need to
create a vlan on the router and assign an SVI to it with an IP address. Then
you add the HWIC port as an access port into the VLAN and you should be
rockin and rollin.

Subject: Confusion on HWIC-4ESW
Hi Group,
I am planning to add hwic-4esw to one of my routers. But I am not exactly
sure how this interface can configure for IP address. Cisco site indicates
it's a L2 switching ports. All I want is to increase my Ethernet ports on
1841 by one more (comes with two Fast ethernet ports). By using hwic-4esw
can it be configured with all 4 ports with 1 ip address (which gives me the
additional ip address I required) or can it be configured with ip address to
each port?.
Or any other module for 1841 to achieve this?.
Thanks
CP
