Connect a Cisco switch and router via 802.1q trunking. This configuration is known as a router-on-a-stick. First, let’s start with the switch. VLAN 1 exists by default, so we’ll add a couple of other VLANs: vlan 100 name data state active vlan 200 name data state active Now, let’s configure the switchport to connect to the router: interface fastethernet 1/0/1 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk Over to the router! interface fastethernet 0/0 no ip address interface fastethernet 0/0.1 encapsulation dot1q 1 native interface fastethernet 0/0.100 encapsulation dot1q 100 ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0 interface fastethernet 0/0.200 encapsulation dot1q 200 ip address 192.168.200.1 255.255.255.0 At this point, workstations on VLAN 100 should be able to ping the 192.168.100.1 address, and workstations on VLAN 200 should be able to ping the 192.168.200.1 address. If, for some reason, the native VLAN on the switchport is something other than 1, change the encapsulation statement on the router, or the trunk may not form. ____________________________________________________________________________ courtesy http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1853/Cisco_switch_802_1q_trunk_to_router_on_a_stick/
