Can't ping subinterface

grinch182

Level 1

Good day colleagues.

I'm having issue with subinterfaces. I've connected two routers and created subinterfaces on both ends. I configured both sides but can't ping neighbor router. More than that I can't ping local address on subinterface.

Pleace check my config and tell me what I did wrong.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

I don't think it will work as subinterfaces on serial interfaces are done for frame-relay encapsulation.

PPP won't let you do that and hdlc does let you configure the subinterface but it can't work imho.

Alain.

Hi,

it will only work with Frame-relay on serial interfaces as it seems that this feature is not supported for HDLC or PPP.

if I will choose other than serial interface type (FastEthernet for example) I also cnat create sub interfaces without configuring encapsulation dot.1q and creating vlans. Maybe you will give me an advice how can I configure and make works few VRF via 1 physical link?

Sincerely,

GRinch

You can create SVI interfaces, put single VRF on each SVI and pass those VLANs through a physical link making it trunk.

Nik

HTH,
Niko

In this case I will not face any problem. I was wondering if ti's possible to make it works through serial links. Thanks.

Hi Can you try below FR config.

interface Se/0/0
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip proxy-arp
encapsulation frame-relay

interface Se0/0.101 point-to-point
ip vrf forwarding test1
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
frame-relay interface-dlci 101

interface Se0/0.102 point-to-point
ip vrf forwarding test2
ip address 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.252
frame-relay interface-dlci 102

Same way at other end.

Regards

Mahesh

I know there is no problem with FR, but I would like to use IP. Thanks for advice.
