Connecting two routers

jthomas129

I have two Cisco 7500 routers that I want to connect in a lab and I wanted to know if I could connect the two routers via the AUX connecitons and if so what type of connections would I have to use??

I believe you would need a couple trancievers and a crossover cable. Or a couple trancievers, a couple straight throughs, and a switch.

I think he wants to use the AUX port, for that you create a rolled-ethernet cable.
1-8
2-7
3-6
4-5
5-4
6-3
7-2
8-1

You need to setup a tunnel between the two routers.

===Router One===
interface Async4
ip address 12.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
async dynamic routing
async mode dedicated
!
interface Tunnel0
l
tunnel source Async4
tunnel destination 12.0.0.2
!
line aux 0
modem InOut
transport input all
speed 38400
flowcontrol hardware

===Router Two===
interface Async4
ip address 12.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
async dynamic routing
async mode dedicated
!
interface Tunnel0
tunnel source Async4
tunnel destination 12.0.0.1
!
line aux 0
modem InOut
transport input all
speed 38400
