2948G-L3 and 3550-EMI

[sgasporra]

Greetings,

I am trying to figure out what the equivalent of the following interface configuration from a 2948G-L3 would be on a 3550-EMI?

2948GL3:

interface FastEthernet 48

description - to PIX 515

ip address 10.0.4.2 255.255.255.0

no ip directed-broadcast

When I try this on the 3550 FastEthernet interface 48, I get the message, "% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links." Is it possible to duplicate the 2948's config for interface 48 on the 3550?

Any help is appreciated,

SG

Hi,

you need

interface FastEthernet0/48

no switchport

ip address 10.0.4.2 255.255.255.0

on 3550.

The "no switchport" command enables L3 functionality on the port.

You also need

ip routing

in the 3550 global config.

See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080115936.html

for details.

Regards,

Milan
