Introduction to Cisco Interface Cards
Cisco interface cards are classified according to the technologies they support. For example, WAN
interface cards (WICs) support WAN technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet; and voice interface cards
(VICs) support voice technologies. Voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs) can support voice, data, and
voice and data applications, depending on the capabilities of the router in which the VWIC is installed.
Enhanced High-speed WAN interface cards (EHWIC) provide expanded LAN and WAN capabilities,
such as Gigabit Ethernet and Ethernet switching.
