Product documentation
Depending on your local network and which Cisco WICs and VICs you install in
your router, you might need other items listed in Table 6 to complete your router
installation.
When You Use It
A hub connects pieces of network equipment (including the router)
to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-, or 10/100-Mbps hub
with the router.
A switch connects pieces of network equipment (including the
router) to create a network. You can use a 10-, 100-, or 10/100-Mbps
switch with the router.
Although the WICs and VICs use thumbscrews, you might need a
Phillips screwdriver to loosen the WIC and VIC cover.
To make a WAN connection, the router must have a supported WIC
installed. The router supports up to two cards. You can either order
the cards when ordering the router, and they will be installed for
you, or you can order the cards separately, after receiving the router,
and install them yourself.
