VLnas and cisco 871.

Oct 28, 2005 1 Replies

Hi all,



what about the use of the VLANS available on the router in the subject? I know DMZ for 830 series with Plus Features Set.



It means that I can use a Switch where it is not possible to configure ports in trunk mode and use the same gateway for the vlans specified in the switch?


Many thanks

Hello Alex,

the 871 supports VLANs with the Advanced IP Services feature pack... As for the switch that does not support trunking: whatever you connect to one of the 10/100 ports on the switch, will belong to the VLAN configured for that port. To give you an example:

interface FastEthernet1 switchport access vlan 101 ! interface vlan 101 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.55.0

So, if you have a switch connected to FastEthernet 1 on the 871, and if the switch does not support trunking, all ports on the switch must be configured for VLAN 101... Is that what you are asking ?

Regards,

GP
