7206VXR: Creating a vlan

sudip.acharya1 · ‎09-22-2009

Hi,

I am trying to create a vlan on the 7206 but I get a "%invalid input detected" error.

I am using the command Router# vlan VLAN-ID.

Thanks.

You never create vlans on true routers.

You connects to switches that have already the vlans using subinterfaces.

Also, you are reporting an incomplete IOS version string.

Here is the complete string. We are trying to see if we can have a vlan here due to the way the switch provided by our carrier is setup.

I am able to run "sho Vlans" (0 vlans are confgured).

As mentioned above, router never "creates" VLANs.

Try to explain what problem are you trying to solve exactly.

Hello Sudip,

>> Here is the complete string. We are trying to see if we can have a vlan here due to the way the switch provided by our carrier is setup.

as Paolo has explained this is a router and not a multilayer switch.

if your provider sends to you 802.1Q tagged frames with vlan X you just need

int f0/0

no ip address

int f0/0.10

enc dot1q X

! other commands here

X stands for a vlan-id number

Hope to help

Giuseppe
