Fast-ethernet to Ethernet problem with a 2611XM and 2507

amb1s1

Hi, I have both 2611xm and the 2507 router. This is my first physical lab and I encounter a problem with these routers. FIrst, the 2507 has 18 ethernet port, but when I do sh ip int brie, It only show one ethernet interface. A friend of mine told me that those ports are treated as a hub, so I plug the 2611xm Fa0/1 cable to ethernet port 1 on the 2507. I config the 2611xm with the following:
ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
speed 10
duplex auto
On the 2507 I did the following:
Ip address 192.168.20.2 255.255.255.0
no shut;
INterface on the 2611xm is Up/down
On the 2507 the line is up up. Can anybody help me out, thanks

Make sure you hard code both interfaces as 'duplex half'. Are you using a crossover cable to connect the two interfaces?

+1

Same type devices take what kind of cable?

Tested the cable and the cable is good. I hard code the duplex half on the 2611xm, but on the 2503 that option is not there.

The 2507 is a hub -- you need a straight through cable.

Bingooo!!!! you got it. Because it is a hub, I had to use straight through cable. Thanks
