Hi all,
Yesterday i ran into a strange problem.
I installed a Cisco 881 router behind a 2960 switch.
On both devices i configured 100mb full duplexing, so auto neg off.
Also i configured an IP on the interface.
So the interface now looks like this:
Router#sh run int fa4
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 94 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet4
ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.248
duplex full
speed 100
end
But when i do a "sho ip route" note the IP address from Fa4 (wich should be directly connected) is not shown in the routing table:
Router#sh ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, + - replicated route
Gateway of last resort is 10.100.3.1 to network 0.0.0.0
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [254/0] via 10.100.3.1
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 5 subnets, 2 masks
C 10.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan10
L 10.0.0.2/32 is directly connected, Vlan10
S 10.100.2.248/32 [254/0] via 10.100.3.1, Vlan63
C 10.100.3.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan63
L 10.100.3.29/32 is directly connected, Vlan63
Strange?
Also there is absolutely no L3 traffice possible to/from fa4.
So now lets set the port settings to auto/auto:
Router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#interface FastEthernet4
Router(config-if)#dup auto
Router(config-if)#speed auto
Router(config-if)#end
After writing the config and reloading i checked again, and surprisingly:
Router#sh ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, + - replicated route
Gateway of last resort is 10.100.3.1 to network 0.0.0.0
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [254/0] via 10.100.3.1
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks
S 10.100.2.248/32 [254/0] via 10.100.3.1, Vlan63
C 10.100.3.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan63
L 10.100.3.29/32 is directly connected, Vlan63
172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 172.16.0.0/29 is directly connected, FastEthernet4
L 172.16.0.2/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet4
The exact same problem occurs when replacing the 2960 switch to a non Cisco model.
So the problem must be in the 881.
Maybe irrelevant, but i performed al little trick with causes it to work temporarily.
Create a subinterface on Fa4.
Router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#int fa4.700
Router(config-subif)#encapsulation do
Router(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q 700
Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.248
Router(config-subif)#end
When looking in the routing table it shows the IP address local connected on the Fa4.700 subinterface.
Router#sh ip route | i 172.16.0
172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 172.16.0.0/29 is directly connected, FastEthernet4.700
L 172.16.0.2/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet4.700
At this moment i deleted the subinterface and configured the IP address on Fa4 again:
Router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#no int fa4.700
Router(config)#int fa4
Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.248
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)#end
Voila:
Router#sh ip route | i 172.16.0
172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 172.16.0.0/29 is directly connected, FastEthernet4
L 172.16.0.2/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet4
Now L3 traffic is possible to/from Fa4.
But after i reload or powercycle the router the exact same problem, no local connected ip address, and no L3 traffic.
Anyone else stumbled onto this?

It's a known bug for the 88x.
Try 15.0(1)M5, or even 15.1 something.
