Fast Ethernet's Line Protocol down in Cisco 3825 with HWIC-4ESW

Asked by: aime14

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure vlans in Cisco 3825 using HWIC-4ESW module. The router shows the module is installed properly and I configured the VLAN too. but the line protocol of the FE and Vlan both shows down and no traffic on the VLANs. I changed the physical slot of the module, reconfigured VLANs, but no use. I tried to connect to switch and PC Directly but still the same (No Ping and No traffic).

The config is as follows,

3825#sh run
!

Have you tried using VLAN 1? VLAN 2? VLAN 3?

Some of these switching modules for routers have limitations on the VLAN numbers you can use.

 

by: donjohnstonPosted on 2009-04-04 at 07:06:22ID: 24067445

Just found this:

Note: Both HWICs-the 4- and 9-port HWICs-support up to 15 VLANs.

They don't say if the VLANs have to be 1-15 or 1-64, etc.

And you have something plugged in to f0/0/0 and f0/0/3? With a known good cable?

The config and other output looks fine.

Hi,

Yes currently f0/0/0 is connected to a computer directly. Any more changes needed???

Regards

 

by: donjohnstonPosted on 2009-04-07 at 13:57:20ID: 24091884

The only other thing I can think of would be a speed or duplex mismatch.
