Hello

You mast delete ip address on the Ethernet interfaces because when you have ip addresses

assigned to interface you start routing process on this interfaces, there for you must confige IRB

but in the your's situation it will be enough if you delete ip addresses.

That's not true. You can have IP addresses on bridged interfaces. In fact it is extremely useful to do this when you configure your routers as bridges because having addresses on the interfaces allows you to telnet to the router.

use the command "no ip routing" on both routers and

it will turn them into bridges.

to manage them use the same ip address on the the lan

and wan interface,but remember to use a different address for each router.

Thanks all for your suggestions .This should have been a straight forward issue but it looks like we are missing something.

I will have to look it up more . If any one has other ideas please update me .

You are right. Your router serial interface must configure with ip address instead of no ip addr. The serial intf IP should be different from ethernet but they must in the same subnet. sure work......
