Inter VLAN routing with a 2611 router Jason 01-30-08

I'm working through the CCNA & I've reached the point of configuring 802.1Q
on routers. I have a 2611 router which is connected via a 10Meg ethernet
connection to my 2650 switch (which in turn is connected to another 2650
switch). Unfortunately when I try to configure sub interfaces as per the
text in my book I'm receiving this error message:

'Configuring IP routing on a LAN subinterface is only allowed if that
subinterface is already configured as part of an IEEE 802.10, IEEE 802.1Q,
or ISL vLAN.'

I've tried many different combinations of commands on the interface &
subinterfaces but the CLI doesn't even recognise the 'encapsulation'
command, I'm thinking that something needs to be configured globally but
I'm not sure, certainly my book hasn't indicated that. I've searched the
Cisco web site & also my CCNA Command quick reference guide but with no joy
in solving the problem, can anyone point out where I'm going wrong?

TIA, Jase.

There's only a few IOS images that support 802.1Q encapsulation on
your 2611 router.

Search in the feature navigator for 'IEEE 802.Q VLAN Trunking' feature
for your router.

Part of knowing cisco is knowing their website for finding
information. Find the feature navigator and find the images that
support that feature.. :)

Most likely, you'll have to upgrade to one of the images returned to
support what you want to do.

Which IOS release and feature set are you running on that machine?
IIRC dot1q is only supported in IP Plus or better on that platform.

Which isn't a version that supports 802.1Q. You'll have to upgrade,
and consult the Feature Navigator like I previously posted to find
which images do support that feature.
