encapsulation dot1q is not working?, 2600 Cisco router

[jesserc68]

     I am trying to config a 2620 Cisco router to perform subintreface (F0/0.1) for Vlan Trunk Protocol, however when I try to configure the encapsulation dot1q, I continue to receive error massage with ^ symbol below the 'c' See below, the platform version is a 12.3(26) which should be acceptable to perform an (encapsulation dot1q). The Ethernet is a fast-Ethernet 10/100 port. I also try the ISL, I receive the same massage.

Can anyone suggest what could be the problem!! 

Thank you all!!!!!

Could you paste the following output.

Router(config-subif)#en ?

I want to see what options its giving you.

Also how are you connected to the router? console?

It's possible your feature set it not good enough to run trunking.

Trunking apparently requires a minimum of the IP PLUS feature set according to this document

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk815/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800949fd.shtml

table 2 shows a minimum IOS of 12.0(1)T and IPPLUS/IPPLUS on the 2620 - so your IOS revision is OK, but maybe your feature set is not.

You can figure which feature set you have by going here

http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch?act=rlsSelect&task=search&searchby=image

and entering your image name (assuming it's not been stuffed with) which you can find by doing "show flash" or "dir"

If you don;t have the right feature set, then you're out of luck unless you can upgrade/change the IOS image the router is booting with.

Cheers.

     I believe you are correct, I followed your link and inserted the IOS #c2600-i-mz.123-26.bin, the outcome  was c2600-i-mz.123-26.bin  12.3(26)  2620-2621  IP,

Therefore I believe I need an IOS the has the feature of IP PLUS. Is there any way you could inform me what IOS has the IP PLUS.

Thanks

The image you need is C2600-is-mz.123-26.bin, and it's the last release for this model router that I can find. If you've got a service contract/CCO account, you can probably download it - but I expect you'll be breaching licensing conditions if you do. On your own head be it if you do!

Cheers.

[jesserc68]

Thanks for the info on the IOS, once I receive it and implement it I will let you all know if that was the issue.

Thanks

Is this the only command thats not working? if not live could u try different commands under interface? what configuration do u have under "line con 0" ?

[jesserc68]

Everything works except the encapsulation dot1q

[George Stefanick]

When you say everthing thats a pretty open statment ... Did you post your config ?

[George Stefanick]

also did you add the ip routing command ? If so what happen?

[jesserc68]

I config the ip route as you inform me but the encap dot1q still didnt work.

Router(config)#ip route ?  

A.B.C.D  Destination prefix  

profile  Enable IP routing table profile  

static  Allow static routes  

vrf      Configure static route for a VPN Routing/Forwarding instance

Router(config)#ip route profile ? 

Router(config)#ip route profile

Router(config)#int f0/0.1

Router(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1q 30                     

^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Router(config-subif)#

hi,

thanks

Dear jesse rodriguez

I just downloaded and verified your IOS a few mins ago from the Cisco Site. The ios indeed does not contain the Encapsulation command. Strange that it does allow us to create a subinterface but not assign an encapsulation.

Without the encapsulation command , I assume that we cannot assign an Ip address , hence the only solution is to change the IOS.

HOpe this Helps

Cheers!!
