Subha,
Well a typical configuration looks somehting like this
1. how the physical arrangement is done in a most basic WAN connection?
A1. ( WAN CLOUD )=====CSU/DSU------Router
2. What role does CSU/DSU play? What is the role of DTE/DCE.
A2. The CSU is a device that performs protective and diagnostic functions
for a telecommunications line. The DSU is a device that connects a terminal
to a digital line. Typically, the two devices are packaged as a single unit.
The CSU/DSU is usually the DCE (provides clocking) and the router is the
DTE.
3. Can we set up a WAN connection with just a router not using any of this?
A.3 Of course you can... But only in a lab scenario. You can attach 2
routers back to back using DCE and DTE cables. The router that has the DCE
cable attached to it must provide clocking .
L8R,
Santosh Koshy
