[c-nsp] L3 Interface for 2821

16 VLANs... Hmm, looking a bit further into the future, it might be a
good idea to buy a NM-16ESW instead? Also supported by my 2821, I could
use this module, would have enough ports, could use the Catalyst
somewhere else and follow Paul's suggestion to do a

interface FastEthernet4
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10

interface Vlan10
ip address 10.1.1.1 <http://10.1.1.1> 255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0>


for every port of the NM-16ESW.

Would this be a good idea?


Greets,
Bernd
