cisco question: transcievers vs WICs

My cisco 2610 router only has 1 10/100 port.

IIRC, using a transciever I can make one of the serial ports into an ethernet one, right? Or do I have to buy another WIC? If so, do you mind poiting me to a resource that has one availble? I haven't even found somethign comaptible on ebay😱


It has been like a year since I have used cisco routers so pleas be kind.
 
sorry no AUI will get you a ethernet from the serial on the cisco. What you want in an NM-1e or NM-4e. That will give yo u1 or 4 10 meg ethernet. There is no add on card for the 2600 that supports 100meg.

really? that sucks🙁


I guess I understand why (it isn't fast enough) Thanks for the great info.
 
The AUI is the transeiver thing on a 2500/1600 router. It looks somewhat like the serial connector so I could see th confusion. You say the 2610 has a 10/100 port. Is it a 2610 or a 2610xm? If it's just a regular 2610 then you only have a 10meg port. Should be ok for most home use though.

WHat I am saying is that I attach a transciever to the aui to connect to it, right?
 
Aui port hasn't been used on routers for a LONG time.

What does it look like? An RJ45? Or a DB15?

A 2610 should only have a CON, AUX and 10 Base-T ethernet and WIC slots (for WAN connectivity) and a network module slot.

CON and AUX are async serial, normally used for console or possibly dial backup with a modem.
 
There is to a part that adds 100 MB ethernet. You can get a network module with a 1 port Fast ethernet connection (NM-1FE-TX).
 
The nm-1fe-tx will not work in a 2610. The slot is the same but the software will not detect it.
 
Goose,

Didn't I tell you the 2610 has been end of life for quite some time?

What are you trying to accomplish and maybe we can help.

I am trying to take the CCNA test but I have to study first. That, and I would like some practice.

Since I don't have another router, I want to eth 's so that I can create nat pools and such
