[bhatia.sachin]

im not able to access my exchange server.

Interface vlan20 "", is administratively down, line protocol is up

Available for allocation to a context

If i try to enable the interface it gives me the followin error

FWSM(config)# int vlan 20

Unknown interface vlan.

can someone help....

I think you should enable that VLAN interface as following :

Router(config)# interface vlan vlan_number

Router(config-if)# no shut

not at FWSM module config mode.

Hi,

VLANs need to be assigned to FWSM from the Sup as follows.

Native IOS:

----------

firewall vlan-group x 20

firewall module vlan-group x

Hybrid IOS:

-----------

set vlan 20 firewall-vlan

HTH
