Sub-interfaces Issue

Hello,

I started studying this month for the ccna exam and I've found answers to most questions on the oddom book, but now i'm stuck on a lab I created with packet tracer!

I have two switches linked together by trunk ports and then both of them connected to a router. I was able to create sub interfaces for de first switch but when I try to create for the second I get a message saying the subnets overlap with the previous created sub interfaces!

Both switches have the same vlans, I was trying to have them both connected to the router for redundancy.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

You can't have two interfaces in the same subnet. Post up your configs and a diagram maybe we can show you where you went wrong.

I was trying replicate the fa 0/0 config on the Fa 1/0 hoping it would make redundant routes. It didn't went as expected.

When i try to assign the ip 192.168.1.2 to the sub interface fa 1/0.10 the router says the subnets overlap

FastEthernet0/0 unassigned YES unset up up

FastEthernet0/0.10 192.168.1.1 YES manual up up

FastEthernet0/0.20 192.168.2.1 YES manual up up

FastEthernet0/0.30 192.168.3.1 YES manual up up

FastEthernet1/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet1/0.10 unassigned YES unset down down

FastEthernet1/0.30 unassigned YES unset down down

so i gave up connecting the second switch to the router but i still can't ping between vlans. I can ping the sub-interfaces and the computers in the same vlans but not between vlans.

the port in the switch is configured as a trunk

Do the clients have their default gateway set to their respective subinterface?

Check to make sure your router has a route to the other VLAN- ie:

VLAN 10 route to VLAN 20 router:

ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

You'll need to also ensure that your VLAN 20 router has a route back to VLAN 10.

that was the problem now i can ping all computers in all vlans. Was so worried about the switch and router config that i overlooked something so simple!

This shows the importance of labs! Seems simple in the book but try to implement and there will be a rock to make trip
