Use PPP or HDLC encapsulation on each end. PPP PPP or HDLC HDLC
On the router with the DCE end of the cable set the clock rate. interface serial 0 encap ppp ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252 clock rate 64000 For more detail see: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/116/ppp_back.html Everyone was a beginner once :) Later.... -----Original Message----- From: mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Let the flamin' begin....dumbass beginner question [7:43759] I originally configured and maintain several Cisco routers at work so I'm not a TOTAL dumbass when it comes to routers but I sure do feel like one about now. I have a couple of 2500's and a 2600 router with a couple of back to back cables. I'm not doing something correctly to allow the units to talk to each other using those cables. I can telnet into each router or connect via console connection and all are working. The green lights come on the serial connections when the b to b cables are plugged in but I can't for the life of me get them to talk to each other. Can't ping from one serial port on subnet A thru the b-to-b cable to the serial port on the other router on the same subnet on any of the routers. I have checked and rechecked ip info on all. I have tried frame-relay and PPP (which I would NOT trust my configuraion of but I do know frame OK - or at least I thought I did). I have RIP and EIGRP enabled on all and have them redistributing. I have tried the DCE and the DTE at each end. This is what maybe the particularly dumbass question - Do I need to set a clock rate or data rate for a frame connection using these cables? If so the commands required would be helpful. I can look at the options available. I just need to know where to start with them. If it's not a clock rate issue, have I given enough info for anyone to give me an educated guess as to what I'm doing wrong? If not, what other info can I provide? Muchas gracias.
