I have a 3550 switch and I know that the ports are Layer 2 but why under any
interface (ex: fa0/2) does if you give you an option to add a IP address and
not except it based on it being Layer 2, the exact message is ( IP addresses
may not be configured on L2 links) ?? I know with a 2948 and 6500's running
native IOS, you can add an IP address to a port/interface. Is there any way
to convert the 3550 interface to Layer 3 to accept an IP address ?? Any
feedback would be appreciated, thanks !!
