Connecting two 1751 w/serial interfaces

dal
Level 1
Level 1

I am attempting to connect to 1751 routers w/serial interfaces via t1 line. Router "A" (host side) is identical to router "B" remote side. I want to keep them on the same subnet for simplicity purposes. I have performed this feat with csu/dsu modules in the past, but never with serial interfaces. Host side has an internet gateway seperate from the router itself - which the remote side will need access to also. For the life of me I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. This is the configuration from router "A", router "B's" configuration is identical except for the BVI 1 IP address is x.x.x.22 instead of x.x.x.21. Any help is greatly appreciated.

can you paste in sh controllers & sh int serial x & sh run from cisco b , also I am not sure that you can use ip unnumbered f0/0, f0/0 has no ip address , you may have to use ip unnumbered bvi 1

View solution in original post

the config looks ok , what about the B router config ? ALso did you find out who is providing clock ? "Find out from the telco . Also who owns the Csu's , like I said before either one of the cs's or the telco is going to have to supply clock.

How far do you get ?

Does the line come up ?

Can you ping the remote end ?

Can you see the CDP neighbour ?

I can't ping the remote or router "B" from the host router ("A"). Everything is coming up on the host side ("A"), but on the remote("B") side the BVI 1 goes down - states "no active members" - that inturn takes down int fe0/0. Since I have two different telcoms involved, I have just switched from HDLC protocol to PPP. I was hoping that might have something to do with it.

Can you paste in a sh controllers serial x from both sides , also a sh int serial x from both sides , I beleive the problem is you are not providing clock , The serial interface that has a DCE cable attached has to have a clock rate configured

Here is the serial, I will paste the other shortly. Both serial int are identical. I can get the line up but the protocol keeps going down. I have to confess that this is the first serial interface I've setup, usually end up using the csu/dsu modules - I think I am overlooking something simple here. Thanks for the help. Just FYI - I have tried different encapsulations for kicks/grins - to no avail.

Are you using an external CSU or an internal WIC or is this a back to back connection

you are also missing this command from your config

bridge 1 route ip

I corrected that - Included with the updated configuration I just posted. But still getting line protocol down. Thanks.

external csu supplied by the telco.

Is there a reason you are using Frame for the encapsulation? If there is no specific reason you are using frame-relay encapsulation, try PPP or HDCL. Make sure your encapsulation matches on both ends..

-e

I was just trying frame relay for one those hail mary attempts - to no avail. Back to PPP

I keep getting s0/0 up - line protocol down. How do I determine the clock rate if the telco supplied the CSU with a v.35 jack? Should they have told me the clock rate? At any rate, here are the current configurations - This is just from Router "A" or the host side - Router "B" is still identical except for the BVI 1 IP. Thanks again. Back at PPP encapsulation. Due to lenght, I had to post remaining config on another post.

can you paste in sh controllers & sh int serial x & sh run from cisco b , also I am not sure that you can use ip unnumbered f0/0, f0/0 has no ip address , you may have to use ip unnumbered bvi 1

It is the exact same as router "A" with the exception of the IP BVI 1. I can ping the routers from their respective internal LANs and I can ping from the routers insdie their respective LANS - I just can't ping devices from LAN "A" to LAN "B" or from router "A" to Router "B" and vice versa - because my s0/0 is up - line protocol is down. Do you think changing the ip unnumbered f0/0 for s0/0 to ip unnumbered bvi 1 will help resolve this. I can give it a shot. any other ideas in the mean time?
