2811 E1 Interface

Oct 07, 2006 11 Replies

we're trying to setup an E1 interface on our cisco 2811 router, the IOS version is Cisco IOS Software, 2800 Software (C2800NM-IPBASE-M), Version 12.4(3f), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)



I've tried running yourname(config)#controller e1 0/0 and get this result ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.


or yourname(config)#card type e1 0 1 ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.



yourname(config)#


do we have the wrong IOS version? or am i entering the wrong commands



Why do you think it's a controller? Are you sure it's not a simple serial interface? What model card are you using?

Try controller e1 0/0/0 (the 2800 series adds a third set of numbers for some reason)

Paul,

Assuming you do have to configure this card via the controller, here is one I did earlier with C&W using a 2801:

controller E1 0/3/0 framing NO-CRC4 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

interface Serial0/3/0:0 description desc ***** Link to XYZ - cct ref XXXXXXX ***** bandwidth 2048 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252 encapsulation ppp no cdp enable

You will need to check framing etc with the Telco,

Card model is VWIC2-1MFT-G703

We have tried controller e1 0/0/0 and get this response: colorouterslough(config)#controller e1 0/0/0 ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. colorouterslough(config)#

Using sh ip int brief we get this: Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol FastEthernet0/0 10.50.8.250 YES NVRAM up up FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down colorouterslough#

using sh diag we get this: IC Slot 0: VWIC2-1MFT-G703 - 1-Port RJ-48 Multiflex Trunk - T1/E1 & G.703 Hardware Revision : 0.0 Top Assy. Part Number : 800-24918-04 Board Revision : C0 Deviation Number : 0 Fab Version : 04 PCB Serial Number : FOC10302TRP RMA Test History : 00 RMA Number : 0-0-0-0 RMA History : 00 Product (FRU) Number : VWIC2-1MFT-G703

Paul,

Interesting, when I do the same I get the following:

SiteABC#sh ip int brief Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol FastEthernet0/0 10.1.0.1 YES NVRAM up up FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down ATM0/2/0 unassigned YES NVRAM up up Serial0/3/0:0 192.168.1.1 YES NVRAM up up

Sh diag:

I am using a similar card but under show ip int brief I see the Serial

0/3/:0 that ties in with the controller. Ignore the ATM0, this router also has an ADSL port.

Have you tried the card in a different post / another card perhaps ?. I am running the IOS Advanced IP Services but I cannot see that making a difference.

Since the card is a dual personality (T1 or E1) you first need to specify which one you want.

! Exact syntax may vary. card type E1 0/0/0 !

Use the good old ? to help, e.g. 'card type E1 ?' ought to get you help with possible slot #s.

You won't see a controller until you configure the card type and you won't see any serial interfaces until you configure a channel-group under the controller. It's one of those can't run before you walk things.

The IOS doesn't seem to support the card command !

I have tried it in all the slots as well!

To run these features on T1/E1 interfaces, you must install an IP Plus or IP Voice image (minimum) of Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)T or a later release.

As I see in Your feature set (C2800NM-IPBASE-M) You are running regular IP base software on Your router. You need to upgrade in order to get previously mentioned commands in Your IOS.
