Cisco 831, L2 link

[jcastor1]

I am working on a Cisco 831 Router. My network has about 40 work stations.Contected to 3 Switches.

Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 1
Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links.

What can I do to program the Router port?

It's ethernet0, I think. Post sh ip int bri

fa1-4 are all interfaces in the 4-port switch module integrated in the router. The layer 3 config is on interface ethernet0. Ethernet1 should be your WAN interface (or egress port).
