show running-config and interfaces

i'm renting a rack currently and when i do a sho run on any of the routers the only interfaces shown are E0 and S0, when there should be E0, S0, S1, S2, S3....

if i do a sho int s1,2,3 it shows that they are there and running...

any idea why these do not show???

sprinkl3s,

Do you know if there's cables connected to S1, S2, and S3 ports?

sprinkl3s

yes, the connections are fully functional as well.

sprinkl3s...

Can you apply any commands to the missing interfaces? Like...

conf t
int s1
ip address a.b.c.d a.b.c.d
no shut

Do you get an error at any point? Does it show in the running-config if you were able to apply the commands?

I am able to fully configure the interfaces and able to ping/telnet to/from them and everything is the same in the show run still only shows the first two interfaces. and like i said i can do a show int on all of them and everything checks out.

another thing i noticed is on one of the routers i configured a loopback and after i did this the show run only showed the Lo0 and E0, but before i configured the loopback it showed E0 and S0. with everything still functional.

Hi , This is something unusual ....Jush check what is the size of DRAM and free I/O memory space ..

Instead of Show Run try to execute "Sh startup-config" and check if it shows the complete config or not ....it should

Try both from console & terminal emulator software...
