Assuming you already have a serial interface installed in each router and that your LANs are not using the same subnet address, all you need to do is give the interfaces in each router an ip address, in the same subnet and do a no shut on it. This will use the default encapsulation which is HDLC.

Then you will either need to run a routing protocol or just set up static routes on each router pointing to the ethernet subnet of the other router with the serial interface of the other router as the next hop. This is done with the IP ROUTE command.

There is a simple example of ppp configuration at the following URL. Just omit the clockrate command if you are not using a back to back cable connection.

You have other options such as using ISDN and dial on demand as well. The following URL has numerous examples.

i can reply to you with my username and password but i cannot view the link you have sent.

i managed to give the Fast Ethernet 0 and the Serial 0 IPs with No shutdown and they are pingable etc...

it is jut the command for the routing

examlpe

router 1

Fa0 = 10.10.1.207 255.255.255.0

serial0 = 192.168.1.1 255.0.0.0

router 2

Fa0 = 10.10.1.208 255.255.255.0

serial 0 = 192.168.1.2 255.0.0.0

what would the command be to link the two networks?

With the assumptions given by rsissons, you should have the following:

[Router-1]

interface Fa0 = 10.10.1.207 255.255.255.0

interface Se0 = 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip route 10.10.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2

[Router-2]

interface Fa0 = 10.10.2.207 255.255.255.0

interface Se0 = 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

ip route 10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

(Note: The example uses static routing)

Goodluck.

OK Thanks now i can see the following:

[ROUTER1]

Fa0 can ping the network on [ROUTER 2] and the S0 i can also access the Cisco Areonet 350 vir [ROUTER 1] to [2].

But i cannot access any of the PC on the Lan side of [ROUTER 1] from [ROUTER 2] from [2] i can ping the Fa0 of [1] but not futher than that ???

i checked my cables etc...

Hi majik,

This is very simple. You do not have to give a static route command. instead do the following:

Router# config t

Router(config)# router rip

Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0

Router(config-router)# network 192.0.0.0

Router(config-router)# ^z

Router(config)#^z

Router# copy run start

Shut down and restart the router
