Sub-interface and Vlan tagging

[Tebza35]

Hi all

I have a Cisco 1841 router and Cisco 2800 series router.

I am trying to setup a pppoe session with vlan tagging, however I have a challenge when I need to insert the below command into the sub-interface " pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1"

" 

NAMIB(config)#int g0/1.200
NAMIB(config-subif)#enc
NAMIB(config-subif)#encapsulation do
NAMIB(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q 200
NAMIB(config-subif)#ppp
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe en
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe enable
NAMIB(config-subif)#ppp
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe en
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe enable gro
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe enable group glo
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe enable group global
NAMIB(config-subif)#ppp
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe-client dial-poo
NAMIB(config-subif)#pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

NAMIB(config-subif)# "

The command is not allowed, is the a reason for this or am i doing something wrong. Now I am unable to obtain the public static IP address from ISP without the vlan configured.

my current configuration is as follows:

NAMIB#show run

Hello Tebza35,

the PPPoE client started ad supported on physical interface only.

Support for tagged subinterface was added later.

You can try to update to a newer version of IOS and see if the pppoe client is supported.

Otherwise if you have a LAN switch you can define Vlan 200 over it, use an access port in vlan 200 towards the router and a trunk port towards the ISP that allows Vlan 200. In this way the ISP wil see Vlan tag 200 and you should be able to use your device with current IOS image.

Note:

the command pppoe enable group global should be to enable PPPoE server not client.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi

Are you able to send me a config with "Otherwise if you have a LAN switch you can define Vlan 200 over it, use an access port in vlan 200 towards the router and a trunk port towards the ISP that allows Vlan 200"

This would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
