DTE and DCE cables for frame-relay

aueddonline

has anyone had problems with these serial crossover cables, I had some and the interface just wonldn't go into an up up state, then as soon as I switched back to my Cisco V.35 DTE & a V.35 DCE cables pluged together the link worked fine.

I tried all three cables and found the same problem, has anyone else had this? am I better getting more of the V.35 DTE & a V.35 DCE that plug together rather that trying more crossover serial cables?

nope, no problems at all, I have two 3ft ones and two 1ft ones (these are extremely helpful!)

Make sure you have the clock rate configured properly, make sure the cable is plugged in properly, and try flapping the interface with shut and no shut...

I bought 5 of the 1ft. cables from ebay and I have one that does that. At first I thought it was one of my cards gone bad, but I switched the cable and walla.

But having 3 cables not work correctly is wierd. Not sure what to tell ya on that one.
