add ports from EHWIC

[Adrian Ardelean]

Hi,

I have a 2921 router for BGP. Gi0/0 ans Gi0/1 are from ISPs. Gi0/2 is my local network.

I also have two EHWIC-D-8ESG ( Gi0/1/0-7 and Gi0/3/0-7).

How can I use those 16 ports in addition to Gi0/2 for my local network?

Thanks a lot!

Those ports are your switchports on your router chassis - so understand them as "switch inside your router". Principles from switches work here also - you can configure only L3 SVI ports on them and then have some kind of similar behavior as your Gi0/2 routed port.

So make difference between these L2 switchports and your Gi0/2 routed port and that would be enough for you to know what setup you can accomplish.

HTH,

I'm far away..... :)

So is it possible somehow to configure them for LAN instead of Gi0/2?

Thanks

Offcourse Adrian - configure vlans on it and put your ports in appropriate vlan and you're ready to go...more on:
