[c-nsp] 2800's and an extra FE port..

[Steve Wright]

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to find the best way to gain an extra fast ethernet
port for either a 2811 or 2851..

The GigabitEthernet port (HWIC-1GE-SFP) seems outrageously priced (as per
Cisco kit I know ;) )

However, I've had a thought on using a HWIC-4ESW and creating dot1q sub
interfaces on one of the main layer 2 interfaces then trunking to the switch
module for my layer 3 stuff?

Can anyone who has looked into this or has any other thoughts let me know
their opinions as I'm relatively new to the 2800 range?

Thanks,

S
