Cisco 887VA

[HAMZA NISAR]

Hello, I'm new in cisco router configurations. I have Cisco 887VA model router i'm trying to add ip address on ports but it is showing that % IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links. I'm also trying to convert ports in L3 but when in use no switchport it's coming like '' % Incomplete command'' is there any way to add ip address on ports. i want to do nating outside and inside.

Thanks in advance.

as i remember only 2 ports on that router act as WAN / Layer3 ports 0 or 1 as i remmeber

you can do below way if you looking to use that ports

vlan 10

!

interface fas 0

switchport access vlan 10

no shut

interface vlan 10

ip address x.x.x.x 25.25.255.X

no shutdown

still have issue post below interface from router:

show version

Hello,

what have you tried ? What does not work ? Post the command sequence you are entering and the resulting error message.

[HAMZA NISAR]

Hi gerog, firstly don't get angry i'm just a beginner.

int
CiscoR1(config)#interface f
CiscoR1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0
CiscoR1(config-if)#ip add
CiscoR1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

the 4 FastEthernet interfaces are layer 2 only. Does this work ?

CiscoR1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0
CiscoR1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
CiscoR1(config-if)#exit
CiscoR1(config)#interface Vlan 10
CiscoR1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

[HAMZA NISAR]

yes this is working but only with one interface i want to assign ip to 2 interface apart from that is this compulsory to make vlan? is there no any other way to assign ip to ports?

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

what do you mean by 'it works only with one interface' ? It is difficult to follow what you are doing...post a screenshot of the command sequence you are entering...

Hello,

you get no errors, you are typing the correct commands. Where is the problem, what do you want to accomplish ?

[HAMZA NISAR · Accepted solution]

thank you georg now it's working i understand but you helped me to do this. but now i've one more counfusion i've mad two vlans 

vlan 10: 192.168.100.1

vlan 20: 192.168.1.1

Thing is that when i ping from vlan 10 to 20 it's pinging but i've not performed ip routing command in router then how different subnets are pinging.

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

you got it ! It is working...

IP routing is enabled by default, if it is disabled, you would see 'no ip routing' in the running configuration. You won't see 'ip routing'...which means it is enabled.

[HAMZA NISAR]

Georg you helped me. thank you. I've one more thing to ask what is VDSL and atm0, i not understand this what's this work.
