881 Interface ports

[dameon.boyle]

Hi

Does anyone know how many of the 881 switch interface ports can be used as router ports, have used the 877 etc where i can use 2 but need a low cost router that supports 3 for routing. (needs to be physical ports)

Thanks

You won' t be able to use the L2 ports as L3 on this router, the LAN ports are strictly L2 on this router.

As stated, they are strictly L2 ports but you can configure multiple SVIs and associate the SVIs to the ports.

For instance

interface fastethernet0

switchport access vlan 1

interface fastethernet1

switchport access vlan 2

interface fastethernet2

switchport access vlan 3

interface vlan 1

ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

interface vlan 2

ip add 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0

interface vlan 3

ip add 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.0

and route between Vlans.
