Prefect_1998

hii i cant get to set a vlan database on a cisco 2600.

the command vlan database comes back with error each time, dos this router support vlan

thanks for help

ios is

Version 12.2(16),

here is error:

Router#vlan database
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Router#

ressem

Vlans are a feature of a managed switch, it won't be on the router.

edit:
And I hope that the reading material you're using makes it clear that
vlan database
is deprecated, should only be used on older switches. Should be using config mode on newer IOS/equipment

Hi thanks for help I was doing the router on a stick tutorial. Would u have a more modern tutorial if this one is out of date

I seem to vaguely remember configuring a trunk port on a 2600 at one point (might have been a 2800 though). Have you been able to configure subinterfaces? What happens when you try to enable a trunking protocol? You may need a newer IOS version, or one with additional features.

A router doesnt use VLANs internally like a switch. Instead - a routers interface can be configured to send and receive ethernet frames with a VLAN tag attached and this is what you need to do for a router-ona-stick approach.

You need to create a sub interface for each VLAN and tell the router which VLAN tag to use. (The sub interface and vlan do not have to match - but its good practice to keep them the same...).

So if interface fastethernet0/0 on the router is connected to your switches trunk port you would configure it something like this...

(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0.100
(config-if)# encapsulation dot1q 100
(config-if)# ip address 10.0.100.1 255.255.255.0

(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0.200
(config-if)# encapsulation dot1q 200
(config-if)# ip address 10.0.200.1 255.255.255.0

The hosts that are connected to the switch would then need to use the appropriate IP address for each vlan above as their default gateway to allow them to pass traffic between the vlans.

thanks a million

i was trying to put these commands in

R0#vlan database
R0(vlan)#vlan 10
VLAN 10 added:
Name: VLAN0010
R0(vlan)#vlan 20
VLAN 20 added:
Name: VLAN0020
R0(vlan)#apply
APPLY completed.
R0(vlan)#exit
APPLY completed.
Exiting....

this is from a router on a stick tutorial

it worked fine in packet tracer





thanks i will try your solution

great that worked, no vlan data base on the router, dam packet tracer..


thanks again
