Cisco Router 2610, 2620 xm

[jclj]

I have 3 different routers:

2610xm x 1

2620xm x 2

My issue is I can't create a vlan. I have tried the following:

conf t

(config)#int vlan 10

                   ^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

I have also tried:

#vlan database

(vlan)#vlan 10

VLAN 10 added:

    Name: VLAN0010

But when I so a "show vlans" I continue to get "No Virtual LANs configured"

I know these are older routers but I am strictly using them for studies. What am I doing wrong that I can't create a simple vlan?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

This my be IOS version related

Try this

vlan data

vlan 10 name XXXXX

apply

exit

!

show vlan-switch

May be now you can see vlan 10

conf t

!

int vlan 10

desc ** VLAN 10 SVI ***

ip add a.b.c.d m.m.m.m

!

Typo fixed

Thanks Alessio

Hi Chirs,

acampbell gave you the right ide but at the very beginning of the config just separate the commands:

vlan data name XXXXX

vlan 10

router#

router#vlan database

router(vlan)# vlan 10 name myvlan

router(vlan)#apply

router(vlan)#exit

router#

the order of operation is important. BTW check also if you tried to set VTP in CLIENT mode...

Happy studies

Alessio

PS: you have old but brilliant routers!!!!! Upgrade them to c2600-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25d.bin after checking the RAM/FLASH requirements and you will defiintely enjoy more!!!

Thanks guys, when I do a:

show vlan-switch

it does show up but i still can't get into the interface vlan 10 to config anything.

To give a little more info I bought these routers on ebay for a lab. How can I upgrade the them through cisco? Do I need to have maintanence to upgrade the switches?

Am I out of luck on the upgrade?

Thanks

The main issue is that they are EOL and EOS.... Maybe by Luck you will find this IOS among the ones that a friend of yours bought in the past.... but first of all you need to check which version you have right now.

you should anyway check if in the flash there are further vlan configurations and which privilege you are working with. Even with a 12.1 version you should not have issues .. how many interfaces did you assign to this vlan? if you have NO connected interfaces to your vlan you will not do anything with it.

Make sure the "ip routing" command is present on your config and check the output of show vlans command.

before writing your SVI

define the vlan below the interface:

int fa0/1

sw mo acc

sw acc vlan 10

exit

int fa0/2

sw mo acc

sw acc vlan 10

end

!

!

and then define your SVI

int vlan 10

ip address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0

des I did it

end

!

Good Luck and let us know

ok, i updated to c2600-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25d.bin and still have the same issues. "IP Routing" is NOT in my config even after i enable it, and I also don't have the "sw" command when configuring the interface access to the vlan.

Maybe these routers aren't capable? I'm not sure what's going on. I have created vlans and gave them access to interfaces on switches, but can't get this to work with my routers.

Any other ideas? Thanks

So, my test vlan 11 does show up when I add it through the vlan database and then run a "show vlan-switch". Anybody know another way to assign vlans to interfaces?
