Router on a stick question!!!

Ola_CISCO

Hello,

I am currently working on a lab, that is a "Router on a stick set up", I am using a 2x 2950 switches and a 2520 Router to do this, in the workbook it states that the interface on the router is a fastethernet.

I am current using an ethernet interface to set up my sub commands by the only this is:

When I type:

R1(config)#Int eth0.100
R1(config)#encapsulation dot1q 100 (A marker appears beneath the "en")
R1(config)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 (Then when I skip the "encap 1dotq 100", nd add the ip address)

(I the get a message that the subinterface has to be encapsulated)

can anyone tell me how to do this please.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Your 2520 router doesn't support 802.1q encapsulation. Have a look at Cisco's howto page:
