Cisco 2610 HELP!!!

[woodjl1650]

I just got a Cisco 3660 and using that as my main router instead of the 2610.  Instead of junking the 2610, is there any config that I could do with it.  I only have one ethernet port on the router.  Note: this is just a home lab/network.  I have tried looking on the net for possilbe solutions but I am unable to find any.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Jonathan,

You could create a dot1q trunk between the router and a switch.  This would enable you to have many logical interfaces propagated over a single physical interface.

Possible config:

### Router

int fa0/0
no shut
exit

int fa0/0.2
encapsulation dot1q 2
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
exit

int fa0/0.3
encapsulation dot1q 3
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
exit

I checked out the link, but I did not see that the 2610 was compatable with this setting.  Is that correct?

Jonathan,

This is a very old router, and is not even supported by Cisco.

Try the commends described above. If it will not work (that I'm not sure if the commands are supported) you'll be required to use a new one.

I would recommend that you use a new Cisco 1941 which will fit your case, and it's not expensive.

Please check : show version

In the case you are not able to apply the previous configuration.

The 2610 router is a great tool to study with and 10baseT dot1q trunking is supported on it with IOS versions 12.2(2)T and latter.  If you find advanced features are not available you'll still find the platform very useful in a 'Back Bone' router role in a lab.

Here is my current config on the 2610....on the interface Ethernet0/0.2 and interface Ethernet0/0.3 what ip addresses are those supposed to be?

Right now my home lab looks like this:
