Create 2 new VLANs and Trunk

Hi

I am working with a service provider to segment inbound traffic for a client. Rather than creating a seperate fibre circuit, we have opted for two new VLANs and a trunk to the upstream router.

The equipment we are working on is a Cisco Catalyst 2900XL, IOS (tm) C2900XL Software (C2900XL-H-M), Version 11.2(8)SA2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Current configuration:

!

version 11.2

no service pad

no service udp-small-servers

no service tcp-small-servers

!

hostname

!

enable secret

!

ip subnet-zero

ip domain-name

ip name-server

!

interface VLAN1

ip address

no ip route-cache

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

speed 10

duplex full

spantree portfast

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

speed 100

duplex full

spantree portfast

!

interface FastEthernet0/3

spantree portfast

!

interface FastEthernet0/4

shutdown

spantree portfast

interface FastEthernet0/5

shutdown

interface FastEthernet0/6

interface FastEthernet0/7

interface FastEthernet0/8

ip default-gateway

snmp-server community private

snmp-server community public

line con 0

exec-timeout 0 0

stopbits 1

line vty 0 4

password

login

!

end

I need to creat VLAN 2 and VLAN 3. Traffic currently running through VLAN 1 will be segmented between these two VLANs with a trunk to an upstream router.

vlan database commands don't appear to be working. At this stage I only want to create the VLANs. Can anyone recommend a command reference?

Ok, just did a quick search. With your release of software, you can only configure VLANs on the Enterprise edition of the software, which yours does not appear to be.

IOS 12.0(5)XU and later support both standard and enterprise edition features.

I suggest that you upgrade if you want to use VLANs.

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

Hi,

It's possible that your switch is running as a VTP client which will not allow you to create VLANs. Could you post the output of 'sh vtp status' ?

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

That is really old code , maybe that is causing your problems . I would try to upgrade if possible . What happens when you try commands within the vlan database ?

Hi Glen

That was my initial thinking. I can't access the VLAN database.

publicswitch#vlan database

^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

It does seem like ancient code... can you post the output of 'sh ver'
