Re: Simple router-on-a-stick question.

Thanks guys for the reply.

Switch#sh interfaces fastEthernet 0/2 switchport
Name: Fa0/2
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: trunk
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Operational Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Negotiation of Trunking: On
Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
<snip>

Now this is what's odd. I have been using only dot1q encapsulation.
I have the following configuration, but I get no replies
from the router, when I ping it (10.1.1.1 ) from the switch.

on the router, I have :

one#sh runn
<snip>
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 speed auto
 half-duplex
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.1
 encapsulation dot1Q 1
 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip directed-broadcast
!

on the switch :

interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport mode access
 no ip address
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address

<snip>
interface Vlan1
 ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
 no ip route-cache
!
ip default-gateway 10.1.1.1
ip http server
!
!

I scrapped the whole r-o-a-s idea, and configured the router as :
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

and there's no problem with reachability between the router and
switch. (I can see the other device on `sh cdp ne'. As soon as I
set up the sub-interfaces on the router and configured dot1q
encapsulation, I can't ping the switch from the router or vice-versa.
(I do have the gateway and VLAN1 ip configured correctly on the
switch). The other thing I noticed is that I dont see the other
device on the `sh cdp ne', after I make this change.

Any pointers ? Thanks again.
