MPLS connection move from Switch to router

[mrochac]

Here is the scenario - we have MPLS connected from ISP onto a switch, and this is due to not having the wic card in place day of delivery - no WIC is in place in the router (2901) and working - MPLS has been working perfect, i can ping the PE device ip address from my router so on and so forth - here is the problem, i need to move that MPLS connection to my router - and i thought i had this figured out but i guess not - not as easy as just moving cat cable from switch to router and keeping config the same - 

thoughts?

Hey Paul - i did test with xover cable and the same results.... there i 2 separate WIC cards on the router, one already in use, the new one i just installed....

So basically we are on about  interface Ge/0 thats all correct? correct

Which when working attaches to a switch which also has the PE rtr attached, but when you remove the switch and attach this rtr via it Ge/0 port  direct to the PE rtr connectivity fails correct? correct, when i move PE connection direct to CE rtr it doesnt like it...

- but so whats the additional WIC for, would this be for an additional peering or addition to a multipoint. The additional WIC is the one i just purchased for this connection.

Can you also post the config of your router please.

for this connection we're working on.

Hope this helps clear things up....

Hi

Just a couple of questions, This configuration (blue) looks an iBGP to your internal network is that correct? and is it just for internal not to connect to the ISP?

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1
description DATA VLAN
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
ip address 10.179.129.253 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside

But you are now trying connecting to a Etherswitch module the ISP's router, is that correct?

Physical WIC port

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0
no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/1
no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/2
no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/3
no ip address
duplex full
speed auto

So I would like to see the current configuration for the connection with the ISP. With Etherswich module you could configure:

Example:

vlan 100

name ISP

ip routing

interface vlan 100

ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y (P2P with provider)

no shutdown

interface g0/1/3

switchport access vlan 100

switchport mode access

no shutdown

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x  (pointing to ISP router interface IP)

Could you please share a Low level topology?

Thank you in advance

:-)

Hello

Then providing the wic is working you should obtain connectivity - Which makes me wonder if its the wic

Can you confirm its installed correctly ( in the correct slot)

Have you rebooted the rtr?
Can you ping the interface on the wic when its connected to your laptop?

Thanks for everyone's assistance, solutions;
Example:

vlan 100

name ISP



ip routing



interface vlan 100

ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y (P2P with provider)

no shutdown



interface g0/1/3

switchport access vlan 100

switchport mode access

no shutdown
Thanks.
