I can ping my Eth0 but my Se0.. request timed out..

sh ip int brief.. says Serial is up and Line protocol is up..

Encapsulation is HDLC. and not frame relay.. i have searched the forum archive..

could i have a hardware problem? how do i resolve this.. please help me..

can you past in a sh int serial x and a sh cdp nei , is the encap on the remote end hdlc?

my network looks like this.. encap is both hdlc

10.0.1.1eth0 <> 10.0.0.1se0 <--csu/dsu--><--csu/dsu--> 10.0.0.2se1 <> 10.0.2.1eth1

my PC is 10.0.1.2.. i telnet 10.0.1.1eth0 and tried to ping 10.0.0.1se0 .. request timed out

do i have to configure a static route from my eth0 to se0?

can you paste in a sh int serial 0 & serial 1 a sh cdp nei from both ends also are box routers cisco boxes , if they are not hdlc will not work , you must use ppp

routing is enabled.

sh ip route

Gateway of last resort is 10.0.0.2 to network 0.0.0.0

10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

C 10.0.0.0/29 is directly connected, Serial0

C 10.0.1.0/26 is directly connected, Ethernet0

S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2

I am in Router A.. i just want to know how to connect eth0(routerA) to se0(routerA)?

cdp isn't enabled. routing is enabled. boxes are cisco. encap is hdlc. both routers have serial and eth up / up.

I do not see cdp disabled in your config , also can you ping from router a roouter> ping 10.0.0.2

Can you paste in sh int serial 0 from both sides

Thanks...

I think I have a Hardware Problem. My Serial Interface is somewaht defective because I have configured the two routers back to back with (DCE-DTE cable) - eliminating the csu/dsu and the telco line. RouterA has increasing CRC, Frame, Output Errors and Interface resets. Inverting the config (DTE-DCE) same routerA still has increasing errors.

Um, can i fix this?

Hello.

The DCE side of the link needs to provide clocking. Do a "show controllers" and see which end is dce and apply the "clockrate" command.

Example:

============

interface Serial1

ip address 11.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

clockrate 64000

=============

-Rob

Yes sir.. i configured clockrate on the DCE side.. and i tried inverting it.. e.g.

RouterA DCE clockrate 64000 <---> RouterB DTE

RouterA DTE <---> RouterB DCE clockrate 64000

In both configs, RouterA always has incrementing output erros, CRC, Frame, and interface resets.
