* Most commonly found model.
** This particular model has 3 WIC expansion slots

All
models have one console port, one auxiliary port, one Network Module
(NM) expansion slot and two WAN Interface Card (WIC) expansion slots.

All
models can perform 802.1Q trunking on their Ethernet and FastEthernet
interfaces; however, some models must be upgraded to maximum DRAM and
flash memory configurations.
Most models are 1RU in height; however, some models are 2RU.

Most
WIC and NM modules supported in the 2600 routing platform are also
supported by these other routing platforms; 1600, 1700 and 3600. What
this means is that NM's or WIC's you buy should be reusable in future
purchases.

The original Cisco intended marketing purpose of the 2600 series routing platform was to power branch offices.
