Hi:
On a Cisco 1841 router I have an Interface vlan configured. Also I have f0/0/1 interface defined as switchport access with the same vlan. Is it possible to now define a tunnel interface and have it include the following - backup interface vlan xx ?
Interface vlan 55
ip addresss 10.0.0.1 /24
interface f0/0/1
ip address 10.0.1.100 /24
switchport access vlan 55
interface tunnel5
backup interface vlan55
ip address 10.0.2.33/24
Is this configuration valid on a 1841 with these interfaces ? Can the "backup interface " be used in this situation ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, mikir
I see a mistake in the configuration.
a) interface f0/0/1 (A interface can not be layer 3 (ip add 10.0.1.100/24) and the same time be a Layer2 (Switchport access vlan 55))
ip address 10.0.1.100 /24
switchport access vlan 55
**** To have a Interface fastethernet as layer2 interface you need issue the command "no switchport".
In other order of idea, you can use a Interface VLAN (SVI) as Backup interface, but if you have more than one port in the Vlan 55 any physical port member of the vlan can be use.
I hope help you

Hi David:
Thanks for the answer. You are correct , the interface f0/0/1 is switchport access and no ip address. I simply did not write it correctly in the question.
I did not see in Cisco examples the use of 'backup interface" in this kind of situations. Mostly just for dialer interface. So i understand that this should work. There is in fact only one interface in the vlan.
