Can't get a Cisco 877 to let me assign IP's to physical interfaces

I have a problem with a Cisco 877, I tried doing a no switchport already and that didn't work.

Trying to create a subinterface (int fa0.1), also did not work.

I get the error "% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links"

What I did was assign each to a vlan and then assign the interface vlan X to that IP

The problem is my EZVPN is not working and I need that to tie to a 10.x.x.x network over a WINDSTREAM connection.

If I do this in GNS3 on the VPN, the router I can use takes the ip addresses directly to the physical interfaces and is working.

The odd thing is on my 'broken' connection if I do a "SHOW CRYPTO IPSEC CLIENT EZVPN" I get the right tunnel name, that the socket is up and that IPSEC is active, the proper inside and outside VLANS and the right PEER.

I can ping all public IPs from it, from the 10.x.x.x core I can ping it's Public WAN and LAN IP's...but I cannot reach anything 10.x.x.x directly from it or on it.

Anyone know a way to possibly get a 877 to take an IP on it's Fastethernet interfaces. I think it's on 12.3 code.

Thanks

You'll have to create an SVI and create an access port for whatever VLAN the SVI is. The group of ports is a L2 switch module, they aren't routed ports (nor can they be configured as routed ports.)

Those probably use VLAN configuration mode, too, which is accessed from exec mode, not config mode.

I was able to get the rules into the firewall last night, but the device still was not talking to our 10.x.x.x network.

I had to reboot the switch for some reason and everything started working :( It may have been the fact that the ISP had changed our connection three times that day prior to giving me just the static IP I wanted (went through intervals of PPPoE, and some things they were having me do on the modem itself).

I had the config right, the switch must have just lost it's mind temporarily :)

Thanks everyone.
