    Hi Guys,

    My lab consists of 2 catalyst switches, 2 2500 series Routers and one 2600 (moduler) router, I had primarily gone for 2600 because it can support Router on stick labs, but only has one serial interface.. I thinking of getting an extra interfaces card for 2600, I would like to have some opinion as to how painful it is to add another interface card, is it like plug and play or do you have to upgrade drivers on IOS ???

    any help will be appreciated

    If there are WIC slots available, it's quite painless... power the device down, insert the WIC, power it up, and everything should be detected automatically.
