Hi Group, I have a 2522 that's doing something strange. The 2522 has 10 serial int's - 2 sync and 8 async/sync. The 2 sync interfaces (Serial ints 0 & 1) and serial 2 and 3 of the first two of the async/sync int's are on the bottom row of the router and async/sync ints 4-9 are on the top row (I include this for people who didn't know). My problem is I can't get "Up and Up" for any of the top row of async/sync interfaces - it's only "UP and Down"!?! Where's my line protocol problem? I'm connecting to a 2501. The 2501's config is this: interface Serial0 ip address 192.168.1.150 255.255.255.0 no fair-queue clockrate 64000 ! ! router rip version 2 network 192.168.1.0 ! The 2522's config is this: hostname 2522 ! interface Serial1 ip address 192.168.1.201 255.255.255.0 ! router rip version 2 network 192.168.1.0 ! Simple enough - - right? If I take the IP address (or any other IP add scheme) off of int Ser1 of the 2522 (or Ser 0, 2 or 3) and apply it to Ser's 4-9, the router is only UP and DOWN. It's like the whole top row of the 2522 won't be Up and Up. What I am missing? Switched cables, played with different IP schemes, different routing protocols, bumped the routers a few times, checked CCO - nuttin'!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated, Sean C.
