Chapter 6 Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs)
MAC Address Allocation
The WMIC stores one unique MAC address for the BVI interface.
WMIC Power Requirement
In a typical Cisco 3200 Series router configuration, the WMIC draws power from the PCI and the ISA
connectors. Table 6-3 shows the estimated power consumption. Note that these are theoretical maximum
wattages.
Mean Time Between Failure
The calculated Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) in excess of 1,190,136 hours.
