VLANS can't be created

[kradjesh13]

Hi,

I have Cisco 877 series Router. I was about to create VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 for Servers and Wireless. But it says, it cannot create more than 1 VLAN.

So, does this router don't support more than 1 Vlan. Can any one tell me, from which serious we can assign more than one vlan.

Aslo, can any one suggest me is there is any other way to create more than 1 valn in 877 series itself by upgrading the IOS or by any other means.

Thanks Guys,

Would you be able to post the command output that results when you try this.

Thanks,

Paresh.

Hi Paresh,

Thanks for your quick response. I have attached the configs i tried for VLAN creation and the output it gave in a text file.

Thanks

Forgot to add this, finally i gave this command. The output i got is

yourname#show vlans

No Virtual LANs configured.

Hi Rajesh,

If you look at the list of IOS versions I posted earlier, you'll see that your version is not supported.

Is it possible for you to upgrade the image at all ?

I will try to upgrade the IOS paresh and let you know how it goes Paresh.

Thanks

Hi Rajesh,

I dont think you will be able to configure VLAN's on a router. VLAN's can only be created on a switch. Please tell me what you need to achieve using VLAN's. If its inter VLAN routing, you need not create VLAN's in the router.

No, this router acts like a switch for VLAN creation.

From priv. mode eg

router#

enter:-

vlan database

and create vlans by typing eg:-

vlan 2 name voice

then they should show up in "sh vlan"

If you want the router to have an IP address on each vlan , do this from global config mode

router#(config)

interface VLAN1

ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mask

no shut

interface VLAN 2

ip addres xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mask

no shut

(pretty unusual eh?)

cheers,

Peter.
