A maximum of two EtherSwitch Network Modules are supported in a Cisco Router.
HWIC-4ESW, WIC-4ESW, or HWIC-D-9ESW can also be used in combination with the EtherSwitch network module.
A total of two EtherSwitch modules (HWICs or NMs) can be used in any router. If multiple EtherSwitches are used in a
single chassis external stacking is required.
Cisco Etherswitch Modules are supported in IP Plus or above in Cisco IOS releases 12.2T. Beginning with Cisco IOS
12.3 Mainline and 12.3T, the Cisco Etherswitch modules are supported in IP Base or above.
