VLAN Tagging on the router physical interface

[mp0700077]

HI All

We have a requirement whereby we need to tag the physical interface (please note: not the sub interface) of a router to a particular vlan. I am aware of how to do this on the sub interface and for what I am trying to do, I want to avoid creating the sub interface if I can tag the physical interface with a particular vlan-id.

I am aware of the vlan-id dot1q command but that does not seem to work..

Has anyone done this and if so can they share their experience.

Thanks in advance

IIRC that command is used for a slightly different purpose, though I am unable to find the documentation on it at the moment. I tried it once and was unable to get it working. As far as I know, you must create a sub-interface to do VLAN tagging on a routed port. Regards, Mike
