Hi
I was thinking of purchasing a Cisco 2610 router with 12.3 IOS. The model has one 10 Mbs Ethernet port.
Can anyone tell me if this router is capable of trunking dot1q?
According to Cisco -
It can, because the IOS is higher than 12.2(8)T. However, I have read elsewhere that the IOS needs the IP Plus feature set enabled.
Is this true? And what exactly is the IP Plus feature set?
Many thanks in advance.
There's a couple versions of IOS available that can trunk VLANs. Most versions of IOS can't on this box. (you'll probably get alot of people saying that its a 10Mbps port, and only 100Mbps can do VLANs, but they are all wrong :) there is actually a version of code that does work on a 2610 with 10Mbps that can do it.
Yes, you need the ip+ basic feature set, which is an additional license (ie. additional money to cisco) required for additional features. You'll also need the box maxed out on RAM/Flash of 64M/16M as well.
Ie. image c2600-is5-mz.12.3-20.bin says it has IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Support & IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Trunking features in it.
