Router 2612 Series without Serial interface?

[newnetman]

Hi, Recently bought Router 2621 but came without serial interfaces. Most of my practice requires serial interfaces i.e. BGP, Frame-Relay.

All it has is 2FE, console and a AUX port.

Can someone please explain how this router module could be used to server my desire purpose?.

Thanks

You can buy a serial WIC-1T to go into it. Check Ebay for them.

For things like Frame Relay there is no real substitute for serial interfaces and the previous post about purchasing a serial WIC is good advice. For routing protocols like BGP it matters much less what kind of interface. You can run BGP just fine over LAN interfaces such as FastEthernet.

I continuation:

you require at least 2 routers to start.
