Hello,
I'm trying to build home cisco lab. I have 3640 and 1603 routers. Both have WIC-1T modules as WAN solutions. Can I connect them with DB60DB60 crossover "back-to-back" cable ? Can the routers communicate using that cable to test some lab solutions ?
Many thanks, Marcin
Yes. You are looking for a DCE to DTE cable. Cisco Part #CAB-60MTC
There's a zillion of them on eBay/3rd party cable shops on the Net.
Set one end as DCE, the other as DTE and away you go.
Or, to emulate it a little closer in speed/options, you can buy two CSU/DSU's, and hook them up to the WIC-1Ts with CAB-V35MT (or whatever interface you get on your CSU), and a cross-over T1 cable inbetween the CSU/DSUs.
Run a cat5 cable between the two wicT1 cards, but cross pins 1&2 with 4&5. You will have to turn on clocking on one of the cards.
The OP was talking about WIC-1T cards, with DB60s on them. Not WIC-1DSU-T1 cards with T1 interfaces. Many people transpose 1T for T1, but they are NOT even close.
Many thanks for that, I will try with DB60 crossover, M
Well, it is 1T or T1 so it's close! ;)
