Cisco 3620

You will need an NM module of sorts. I have a 3620 in my lab and it has a NM-1E2W module in it which has 1 Ethernet Port and to 2 Wan Slots (which are empty at first).

Assuming that you have a AUI (Attachment Unit Interface - Has a cat5 socket on there) on your 2514, you could use the ethernet interface if you install an NM-1E2W in the 3620.

If not you will still need a NM-1E2W, and install a WIC-1T serial interface in one of the wan slots. You could then create a serial link between the two routers.

Sorry, it isnt P&P you will need to c> I'm thinking about purchasing a Cisco 3620. I want it to talk to my

Thanks for all the info. I knew I had to configure both routers to work. I just wanted to know if the 3620 would automatically detect the module I put in it.

Essentially yes - if a module is compatible with the platform (check the chassis specs on cisco.com first) the detection usually happens in hardware - however, if the interfaces are exotic (voice for example) whether you can actually access and configure them may depend on the IOS featureset. Common ethernet and serial interfaces wouldn't (shouldn't) be a problem though.
