interface on cisco 1721

[dom.a]

i have a cisco 1721. On this i install a WIC-4ESW card. The problem ist that when i try to configure an ip address on this card (any port) i get this message :

% IP address may not be configured on L2 links

Please, how can i configure ip address on this card ? Help !

Regards

Create a SVI, interface vlan XXX and put the address there , then apply the vlan to the switchport.

Hello,

the WIC-4ESW does not give you 4 additional Layer 3 interfaces, it gives you 4 additional Ethernet ports, so basically you are adding a 4-port switch to your router. You need to configure inter-VLAN routing on the 1721 in order for the ports to communicate...

vlan database

vlan 2 state active

vlan 3 state active

vlan 4 state active

apply

exit

interface FastEthernet1

switchport access vlan 2

interface FastEthernet2

switchport access vlan 3
