Hi all, is it possible for me to plug my 2 routers in back to back via the e1 card in it, and how to I configure all 1-32 timeslots to make use of the full 2 mega bandwidth ?

Hi Carl,
Yes, you can do it - best bet is to use an RJ-48 crossover cable. Connecting the two back-to-back like this should at least bring up the Carrier Detect light.
As for the next bit - I've only ever done this for an E1 used for voice connecting to a circuit to the PSTN, not for data at all, so excuse any mistakes I make. If anyone spots anything wrong, please let me know as I'd love to learn too!
If it's a dual-purpose E1/T1 WIC you're using, you'll need to specify what mode it should operate in. Use the "card type" command to specify E1 mode for your card (assuming it's port 0 on the E1 card in WIC slot 0):
router(config)# card type e1 0 0
Once that's done, you should be able to set the number of timeslots to use:
router(config)# controller E1 0/0/0
router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-31
router(config-controllet)# end
router#
At this point, the router should create interfaces for all your timeslots. You will need to do this on both your routers.
You should then be able to set IP addresses on the E1 interfaces, on the signalling channel:
router(config)# interface serial 0/0/0:15
router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252
router(config-if)# no shutdown
Obviously, on the other router, you would set 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252.
From here, I draw a complete blank. If you can PING across between the two 10.x.x.x IP addresses, great. If not, hopefully someone more experienced than me can help you out.
Hope this is at least a good starting point for you.
Kind regards,
Graeme

Hi Graeme
Do you need to use the rj48 crossover cable here ? cant you use an rj45 ?
cheers

what do you mean by pin outs are correct? so can I use a normal car 5 cable, say 2 meters ?

I have used a normal rj45 cable to connect the routers back to back, but im getting this, any ideas ?

what are the pin outs of the cable, what pins have you crossed to get an e1 crossover cable, do a search for e1 crossover on cisco will give you the answer

Hi Carl,
Did you resolve your problem ..i have the same
Any informations about E1 Crossover??
Thanks
