IOSv Switchport Config Support

[aidanvenn]

Hi All,

Trying the following config on a wiped IOSv router:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20

but appears no support for "switchport" command as I get:

inserthostname-here(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/0
inserthostname-here(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Am I losing the plot? or is is that correct?

Thanks for reading

Aidan

Hello @aidanvenn 

because it is a Router, you need to creat sub-interface no ?

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
no shut
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.10
encapsulation dot1q 10
ip address x.x.x.x mask
no shut
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.20
encapsulation dot1q 20
ip address x.x.x.x mask
no shut

by default router interface in routing mode, there is no requirement for you to issue no switchport or switchport ?

If you looking router in stick below guide help you : (

Example 4-6 R1 Subinterface Configuration)

again depends what IOS image you using on virtual lab also important.
