Can I mix WIC's on same router? 2

[hinesjrh]

I have a 2651XM that I need to prepare to have 5 T1 lines connected to (I'll be using MLPPP to bond them). Can I successfully install qty. 2 of the VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 (dual interface) and qty. 1 of the WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 (single interface) on that router?

The only reason I really want to do that is price. The dual interface cards are almost 3 times the amount of the single interface card!

I don't see why you can't combine them. The router configuration to enable each card is a little different but ultimately you will end up with 3 serial interfaces which you can then multilink together.

How many WIC slots does a 2651XM have? I thought it only had two.

There are default slots for 2 WIC's on a 2651XM, but you can also add a network module card (such as an NM-2W) to allow for more WIC's.

Just watch your IOS vere for the V2 card. The other card will run on some older loads
