I attend a Cisco Academy. In my lab I am required to make six router be able to communicate via Serial ports. Even though my configuration appears to be working, I cannot ping other routers from the CLI. Is there a command or protocol that I am missing. Here is the CLI:

!

service timestamps debug uptime

service timestamps log uptime

service password-encryption

no service tcp-small-servers

no service udp-small-servers

!

hostname LAB-A

!

enable password cisco

!

no ip name-server

!

ip subnet-zero

no ip domain-lookup

ip routing

!

interface FastEthernet 0/0

no shutdown

description connected to Cisco1538

ip address 192.5.5.1 255.255.255.0

keepalive 10

!

interface FastEthernet 0/1

no shutdown

I would first start with one router and see if you can ping the adjacent router (connected via serial interface). If this fails go ahead look at status of the serial interface. Since this is a lab setup i would assume, back to back serial cables on your routers. This requires that you put a clock rate command on the DCE end of the cables on the routers.

int s0/0

clock rate 56000 would do.

The line protocol of the serial interface would be down, if the clock rate command is not given.

You can find which end of router is DCE / DTE by using the command, "show controllers s0/0"
