I am trying to perform a configuration change an 877 router running
Have tried every variant of the "No switchport " command to change to layer 3 but still when i try to configure ip address on the fast ethernet port _ i get the error
% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links
My question is this _ are there any other commands necessary on 12.4 to change to layer 3 ?
have searched cisco website and no joy
thanks
You can't.
870 (and 830) have a 5 port Layer 2 switch (802.1d bridge strictly)connected to the back of a normal Cisco Router.
If you have the expensive software you can configure more than one VLAN.
In that case you can put each port in a seperate VLAN and create an SVI for each one.
vlan database vlan 10 !
Many typo's - try again -
vlan database vlan 10 !
You create vlan interfaces and assign the ports to the vlan. The switch module is only layer 2, it is not a layer 3 module.
