Cisco 1811 Router VLAN Question

Hello,

I have a Cisco 1811 IOS 12.4(6)T11. It has two L3 ports and eight L2 ports. Is it possible to use the L2 ports for separate networks? For example, int f0 is 10.1.4.22 int f1 is 10.10.2.1

Is it possible to assign IP's (networks) to the other interfaces...example:

int f2 10.10.3.1 int f3 10.10.4.1 int f4 10.10.5.1

I'm hoping this can somehow be done via VLAN's. If you can please recommend an example that I can look at or if it's even possible please let me know.

Thanks in advance:)

BTW This is my current config...but secondary IP's will not work with my application: ======================================================== Using 2349 out of 196600 bytes ! version 12.4 service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec no service password-encryption ! hostname lab_ospf ! boot-start-marker boot-end-marker ! logging buffered 51200 warnings ! no aaa new-model ! resource policy ! ip cef no ip dhcp use vrf connected ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.10.1 ! ip dhcp pool sdm-pool import all network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.248 default-router 10.10.10.1 lease 0 2 ! no ip domain lookup ip domain name yourdomain.com ! crypto pki trustpoint TP-self-signed-2176816363 enrollment selfsigned subject-name cn=IOS-Self-Signed-Certificate-2176816363 revocation-check none rsakeypair TP-self-signed-2176816363 ! crypto pki certificate chain TP-self-signed-2176816363 certificate self-signed 01 nvram:IOS-Self-Sig#3301.cer username cisco privilege 15 secret 5 $1$4NMd$SQ.k0cQsa5kaqCt3bNXOO0 username it privilege 15 secret 5 $1$9q36$O.XeN1qwbCJE9zvkm1v5w. ! interface FastEthernet0 ip address 10.1.4.22 255.255.255.0 duplex auto speed auto ! interface FastEthernet1 ip address 10.10.3.1 255.255.255.0 secondary ip address 10.10.4.1 255.255.255.0 secondary ip address 10.10.2.1 255.255.255.0 duplex auto speed auto ! interface FastEthernet2 ! interface FastEthernet3 ! interface FastEthernet4 ! interface FastEthernet5 ! interface FastEthernet6 ! interface FastEthernet7 ! interface FastEthernet8 ! interface FastEthernet9 ! interface Vlan1 description $ETH-SW-LAUNCH$$INTF-INFO-FE 2$ no ip address ip tcp adjust-mss 1452 ! interface Async1 no ip address encapsulation slip ! router ospf 100 log-adjacency-changes network 10.10.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 network 10.10.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 network 10.10.4.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 ! ip route 172.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1 ! ip http server ip http access-class 23 ip http authentication local ip http secure-server ip http timeout-policy idle 60 life 86400 requests 10000 ! no cdp run ! control-plane ! line con 0 login local line 1 modem InOut stopbits 1 speed 115200 flowcontrol hardware line aux 0 line vty 0 4 access-class 23 in privilege level 15 login local transport input telnet ssh line vty 5 15 access-class 23 in privilege level 15 login local transport input telnet ssh ! ! webvpn context Default_context ssl authenticate verify all ! no inservice end

The 1811 supports up to 8 VLANS.

switch(config)#vlan 2 switch(config-vlan)#name VLAN2 switch(config-vlan)#int fa 2 switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 2 switch(config-if)#ip address 10.10.3.1 255.255.255.0

Verify which ports are assigned to which vlan switch#sh vlan

Interesting...I had tried this before, but it seem not to work properly. Also the command "show vlan" fails with ambigous command, but I can go to vlan database and type show and see the vlans.

How do I know which port vlan 2 is assigned??? For example, will it be assigned to f2, f3?...I would think f2 would need to somehow be associated with vlan 2??? For example, if I want to assign 10.10.4.1 to f3 using vlan 3, how does the router associate that port with vlan3...etc...

Thanks:)

Two very different things. Putting a port as an access port in vlan 3 immediately makes it a switched port. Which means that whatever you connect to that router must be addressed in vlan 3's subnet, but the router will not have an IP on that port. On a l3 switch, show vlan will tell you what ports are in what vlans, you just need to find the proper command for this router. Now, if you want to create vlans and then assign them to layer 2 ports, this kind of eliminates the need to have a routed port in the same vlan. The SVI is the gateway for the subnet, and your routed ports are used for building a neighbor/ relationship with another router to advertise whatever subnets or vlans are off the 1811. Either way, you should not have a case where you are assigning an IP to a switched port. You are assigning an IP to a SVI and putting ports in that vlan so that nodes connected to it can use that subnet/gateway.

'Show int f0/2 switchport' or one of those might work perhaps for your show vlan question? I have never used the smaller cisco routers, but that is a command string on a l3 switch that shows a lot of information about trunks, etc.

The "switch modules in routers" vary a bit. I would guess that yours might be like a one or two port router with a 9 port HWIC ethernet module in it.

If it is you can do something like

create vlans 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

interface FastEthernet2 sw mode access ! may or may not be needed sw access vl 2

interface FastEthernet3 sw mode access ! may or may not be needed sw access vl 3

int vl 2 ip address x.x.x.x no shut

int vl 3 ip address y.y.y.y no shut

You create vlans either with

conf t vlan 2 vlan 3 end

or

vlan dat vl 2 vl 3 exit Latter roughly; may have forgotten. You have to make a point of saving it anyway. Think it may prompt.

On the 9 port HWIC it is not possible to assign an IP address directly to a port.

Good luck.
