Hi pschakravarthi,
I tried this:
LABFW(config)# int e1
LABFW(config)#nameif
LABFW(config)#no ip address

LABFW(config)# int e1.2
LABFW(config)#nameif ethernet1.2 vlan2 security90
LABFW(config)#ip address vlan2 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

LABFW(config)# int e1.3
LABFW(config)#nameif ethernet1.3 vlan3 security80
LABFW(config)#ip address vlan3 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0

But it idn't work.
Please what else should to do.

did you configure you're uplink port also as trunk?

Hi zwart072,

What do you mean by "uplink port" ?
My layer switch with 2 vlans works OK when connected to simple trunk link to a router.
But I failed to use it on the PIX:
A pc on vlan2 with this ip: 192.168.2.4/24, gateway 192.168.2.1 (E1.2 of the PIX) cannot ping
the gateway. I don't know why?
Thanks

the port where you are connecting your pix on the switch must be configured as trunk (encapsulation dot1q) port.

Hi All,

The issue is version

I upgraded the PIX from 6.3(4) to 7.2(2).

Everything works OK now.
