That is not an ethernet card, it is a WAN or Voice T1/E1 card. What do you need to do ?

first of all you need select a type T1 or E1

card type {t1 | e1} slot [bay]

after that you will get in the configuration T1 or E1 controller.

it got two ethernet port. need combine them as a single E1 circuit

Hi, ethernet is the LAN thing, the connector with 8 pins is called RJ-45 and sometime RJ-48.

Do you have the circuit active and delivered already ?

yes circuit is active connected to a MUX. just need to setup the VWIC card on the router and combine both E1's as a single circuit

card type E1

network-clock-participate wic

network-clock-select 1 E1 /0

network-clock-select 2 E1 /1

controller E1 0//0

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

controller E1 0//1

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

The serial interfaces will appear, configure as usual with DEFAULTS, I recommend that initially you do NOT use multilink PPP to test the circuit first, after that you can look into "combining".

i only have one card in slot 1

Then replace with 1 and enter the commands above.

paolo,

i now have

controller E1 0/1/0

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

!

controller E1 0/1/1

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

!

!

interface Serial0/1/0:0

no ip address

!

interface Serial0/1/1:0

no ip address

i gues i need to use multilink ppp to combine both serial sub interfaces right?

so both CTRLR E1 0 and CTRLR E1 1 now appears how the serial interfaces. right?

do you have a sample config to combine both cards using multilink ppp or should i just use EIGRP?

1. they may look like rj-45's (which you think is ethernet but their not ethernet)

the card is a dual port channelized e1/t1 card

are they connecting to an MPLS or to the internet

if MPLS then eigrp could load balance but if its an internet connecting the multilinkPPP should be the way

Hi,

use eigrp for now and test the circuits to be perfectly clean for few days. Then if you don't like performances or anything you can do mlppp, but you need to configure the router on the other side as well.

Please remember to rate useful posts.

haved used mlppp.

have i missed anything? will eigrp just see mlppp interface or both serials? how about using CEF?
