Cisco 2610.

Is it possible to enable 802.1q on this type of router? Documentation shows enabling it on a fastethernet interface and the 10 & 11s just ethernet interaces. Thanks in advance.

802.1 is only supported up from FastEthernet Interfaces.

So you need at least a 2621 or 2620.

Hope that helps.

Thats the general belief but its not true. This channel is running on a 2612

.

As you can see we are not even using a recent ios image. Channeling requires some capability in the ethernet hardware so some 10 mb interfaces cannot do it but it should work on the 2610.

Hi

did not know this....because it's still kind of new! Good to know!!

But on the built in ethernet interfaces you need a quite new IOS (12.2(2)T).

Here is what i found on cco:
