sub interfaces on 4948

[itdsmartnet]

hi, currently i am using cisco cat4000-I9S-M), Version 12.2(25)EWA8, my question is that i want to configure sub interfaces on it. when i issue the command int gig1/1.100 it didn't recongnize that commmand.How can i configure sub interfaces on 4948 switch.

Thanks

I dont think sub interfaces are supported on the 4948 platform

Hi,

In order to configure a subinterface the port must be Layer3 (routed port). Try with the command:

interface gig1/1

no switchport

And then create the subinterface with the command

interface gig1/1.100

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Massimiliano.

hi,

i have configured the port layer 3 and then issue the command interface gig1/1.100 it doesnot recongnize the sub interface command. it gives " % Invalid input detected at '^' marker." message.

Unsure, but is there some VLAN trunking command required at the Ethernet parent interface before Ethernet subinterfaces can be defined?

hi,

any idea how to configure sub interfaces on 4948 switch

As I wrote, I'm unsure. Hoping someone else might comment if my vague recollection about the parent interface was correct. Don't have a Cisco box to test on.

You don't need to do anything special once configured as a routed port.

If you type in

int gi1/1.100 and it gives an invalid input error then i think Narayan is right in that the 4948 doesn't support subinterfaces.

Can i ask why you need subinterfaces when you can use L3 SVI's on the 4948 ?

hi,

Actually i am getting internet bandwidth and i have eight sites connected to my router. My service provider provides my cable in which they pass all the vlans for this i have to configured dot1q and subinterfaces.

"i have eight sites connected to my router. My service provider provides my cable in which they pass all the vlans"

connection from ur service provider is terminated on router or 4948 switch?

hi,

connection from my service provider is terminated on my 4948 switch. I have router but don't have spare FastEthernet port.

Thanks

If the service provider is sending all the vlans down the link then it must be a trunk link. So you could use subinterfaces but then again you could use SVI's. So lets say you have 3 vlans

vlan 10 = 192.168.5.0/24

vlan 11 = 192.168.6.0/24

vlan 12 = 192.168.7.0/24

make the interface that the cable connects into a trunk

int gi0/24

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

then

int vlan 10

ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

int vlan 11

ip address 192.168.6.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

int vlan 12

ip address 192.168.7.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

hi,

my service provider is providing me ip with /30 mask. what ip should i give to svi interface and what ip in that vlan.
