1721 router with 4esw card not routing

I am trying to use this router to segment off a subnet with my printers
on it. I've created a vlan 2 and assigned it to port 4 on the wic card.
I can't ping through the router either way, and i have no connectivity.
Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong? all i'm trying to do is
connect the 192.168 and 172.16 networks. Any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks!

You configured it wrong way. You should configure "encapsulation dot1q" on
the physical interface, and then create subinterfaces (for example, fa4.2),
and then configure VLAN and IP address on that subinterface.

Another question, if you have 5 Ethernet interfaces, why don't you just
connect each VLAN to it's own physical interface, and configure IP address
on the physical interface?

Good luck,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply. I was trying to connect vlan 2 to the f4
interface. what did i do wrong? the interface itself is L2, so i
couldn't just put an address on the f4 interface. if i put the vlan and
ip on a subinterface, how do i bind it to one of the wic switch ports?

Thanks

 

Ok. If you configure it as L2 port, you should configure it with "switchport
mode access", then "switchport access vlan 2" commands. Also you should have
your VLANs defined in VLAN database. Check the following document for
references:

Good luck,

Thanks, Mike. I'll try this.
