Hi

an 887 is a layer 2 switch and a layer 3 router , it should have come with an ipbase license

If you want advanced routing features like pbr/sla/bgp etc you will need to buy the license

You can still do static routing and maybe eigrp stub routing basic opsf but not full protocol features  on base license

so all you have to do is buy the license or use it for the layer features it currently has

But be assured its layer 3 and 2

Hi

that's applied correctly you should now have full layer 3 routing , why do you think its only layer 2?

can you go into conf t mode and check what protocols you can use now with below

conf t

router ?

You should see bgp,ospf,eigrp etc and you should now be able to use them

Test by configuring  protocol it should now take the below as an example

router bgp 65000

Hi

ohh sorry May be you don't understand me. when I said it is on layer 2 because I can't assign the IP address on interface . of course it is doing a routing My best regards  

[Mark Malone]

Ah ok that's different definitely misunderstood :) the module inside a 800 series is purely layer 2 so you cant assign an ip address to it at all by design, only the wan interface is capable of ip address F4  , the switch module is capable of trunking only but you can create a vlan interface with an ip address and then assign the ports to that vlan or create the vlan and assign the switchports to trunk mode and connect up a switch to give you much more ports

interface vlan 1

ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

Then

interface f0

switchport access vlan 1

ot

interface f1

switchport mode trunk

Hi

first of all you thanks to give to me your time to answer my question .

I want to know something even I buy new license the interface will not work on layer 3?

My best regards

Hi

No the license is to allow you do full routing layer 3 and all the features like policy based routing and ip sla etc , with the out of the box license you can only do basic layer 3

The switch module inbuilt in an 800 series does not allow ip addressing at all pure layer 2 switchport its not programmed to be able to do layer 3 all , this goes for every model 800 series , 887 ,881 867 etc

Hi

thanks a lot 

if I assign vlan for each port how can I configure Ip helper with Microsoft server 2012 R2?

if you  can help me for that one , it will resolve all my problem  

My best regards 

Dosso

[Mark Malone]

Yes no probs

all you do is the  below and you can have multiple servers as well one under each other if required , its not round robin though first server to respond with usable address is used

Interface vlan x

ip helper-address 198.3.12.4

interface vlan123
  desc svi for vl123 dhcp relay example
  ip address 192.0.2.1
  ip helper-address 192.0.4.1 ! Primary DHCP server
  ip helper-address 192.0.4.2 ! Secondary DHCP server

good morning 

My problem is that , I have a server 2012 r2 we have 3 department . My Boss want each department to get is  own network. so I created 3 DHCP scope with different subnet . EX: 172.16.7.0/24  192.168.1.0 /24 10.0.0.0 /24

vlan 1 with 172.16.x.x assign to port F1

Vlan 12 with 192.168.x.x assign to port F2

vlan 15 with 10.x.x.x assign to port F3

how can i configure Ip helper , then each department can get the different ip addr

if you can help me for that ?

My best regards
