Problem configuring EtherSwitch on Cisco 2921

[francisco.torrecillas]

Hi everyone,

I have a Cisco 2921 with an Etherswitch module SM-X-ES3-16-P and I´m trying to configure to access the switch and make it operative. The module is seen on port Gi1/1:

Device ID        Local Intrfce     Holdtme    Capability  Platform  Port ID
Switch           Gig 1/1           165              S I   SM-X-ES3- Gig 0/17

and I have tried to configure and IP address on Gi1/1 to be able to access the switch by means of the command "service-module gigabitEthernet 1/1 session"

But when trying to configure the IP address on the router interface I get this message:

% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links.

Hence I can´t get management of the embedded switch.

Any help is greatly appreciated !!

Thanks in advance.

Make uplink Port of switch as trunk and pass the managemnet vlan for example vlan100 in trunk.

Configure that interface vlan 100 on switch and give it managment IP address. Example as below.

vlan 100

name Managment_Vlan

!

int Gi1/1

switch mode trunk

switch trunk allow vlan 100

!

int vlan 100

ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

!

Well, actually my problem is that I can´t access to the switch to configure it.
When obtaining this error is after following the instructions in the documentation to configure these kind of switches located in:
