Connecting 2 x 2600 routers

Use a DTE-DCE cable. I got mine from

formatting link
router A (DTE) ! int s0/0 bandwidth 2048 (optional, needed to give wan utilisation for SNMP reports) ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252 no shutdown !

router B (DCE) ! int s0/0 bandwidth 2048 ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.252 clock rate 2000000 no shut !

This gives an HDLC link with an IP subnet over the WAN.

----------------------------------------------------- For Frame Relay, use something like this:

router A (DTE) ! frame-relay switching ! interface Serial0/0 bandwidth 512 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay no ip route-cache no ip mroute-cache no fair-queue ! interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point bandwidth 256 ip address 10.1.1.6 255.255.255.252 no ip route-cache no ip mroute-cache frame-relay interface-dlci 17 IETF !

Router B (DCE)

! interface Serial0/0.1 bandwidth 512 no ip address encapsulation frame-relay no ip route-cache no ip mroute-cache clockrate 500000 frame-relay intf-type dce ! interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point bandwidth 256 ip address 10.1.1.5 255.255.255.252 no ip route-cache no ip mroute-cache frame-relay interface-dlci 17 IETF !

I have 2 x 2600 routers. I wish to connect them via direct serial interface link and use it for testing IP, Frame Relay, x.25 over the link.

I have a crossed serial cable.

What config is needed on each interface to make the link work?

I know that clockrate will need to be set.

Cheers Big Si,

I've got the DTE-DCE cable so I will give that config a bash.

Thanks,

Just realised I have a smart serial to V35 female -> V35 male to smart serial.

Will purchase a smart serial to smart serial crossover cable.
