Hello Sameer,

of course you can use the subnet mask that is required no problem on this.

the configuration I've suggested will work it has been used by other collegues in other threads and is reported in C877 configuration guide.

>> Only the vlan is part of bvi or the ethernet port also which is connected in lan ????

this is the key point: in this platform ethernet interfaces are like switchports so bridge-group command is placed in the SVI vlan1.

by default all ports are switchport in Vlan1 (L2 broadcast domain).

Hello Sameer,

you need to use IRB also for SVI Vlan1

int vlan1

no ip address

bridge-group 1

no shut

int BVI1

ip address 10.x.y.z 255.255.255.0

ip helper-address

no shut

the BVI is the interface with L3 information.

Hope to help

Hi

i will check the same tomorrow morning and let u know the result.

anyway apart from the changes suggested by you do you suggest anything to be deleted from the present config ??.(Subnet mask on ethernet is /20 and not /24)

Hi

Only the vlan is part of bvi or the ethernet port also which is connected in lan ????

last time i tried making ethernet port part of bvi group but the bvi was not coming up even though ethernet port was up.this is just a observation am sharing with u during the testing.
