CCNA Question about WAN ports

Mar 09, 2007 3 Replies

There is a question that I found for the CCNA Intro exam that asks.



Which port can be used for a WAN T1 connection A. AUI B. BRI C. Console D. Serial 0



On this document it says that BRI is correct but I think that Serial 0 is correct and anyone confirm this?



You are correct, it is Serial. BRIs have two B channels and one D channel, equalling 128 kbps for the Bs (if bonded together) and 16kbps for the D (if I recall correctly). You would use a Serial interface for a T1. You'll find small discrepancies in the study materials, including errors every once in awhile on the actual Cisco stuff!

And to be completely technically correct, a T1 is a PRI and would be connected via a physical serial interface on the router...but it is a PRI.
