I know this really isn't for CCNA exam, but can anyone help me in configuring T1's back-to-back. I know one side has to be configured for DCE, just like the serial cables, but I can never get them to communicate. I have searched a little on Cisco's website, but whenever I run through the tutorial I can never get it to come up.

Both the data link and physical sides are down... i know you must use a crossover cable to connect the two, which I am doing.

Since I'm fairly new to cisco/networking I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Just a little point in the right direction is much appreciated.

Starting at physical layer, are you sure you have an actual T1 crossover cable? Pinout is NOT the same as a regular crossover cable.

That must be where I'm going wrong. I forgot that the T1's have a special cable. What are the pin outs for the T1 connection?

There you go. Don't ask me how i know this.

A little off topic, but I love T1.

I appreciate the reply! I fixed the cable. However, I still can't get connectivity between the two T1 cards. Here's the config from one device.

interface Serial0/0/0
ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.252
encapsulation ppp
fair-queue
service-module t1 timeslots 1-24

I did add the service-module t1 clock source line, but it didn't show it in the sh running-config.

Here's the other end;

interface Serial0/0/0
description connected to Cisco2620
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.252
encapsulation ppp
fair-queue
service-module t1 clock source internal
service-module t1 timeslots 1-24

Have a look at the output of show controllers, and see if there are any layer 1 issues remaining. See the bold sections below..

router#sh controllers t1

Strange. Every time I type in sh controllers it's blank.

See below...

That's what I thought, I tried that and didn't get too much information back in regards to what's wrong.

show controllers s0/0/0 detail?

show int s0/0/0?

Show service-module serial 0/0/0

MAC_Addy

I'll try these tonight since I'm at work right now. I couldn't figure out what was going wrong on this so I decided to lab with my other serial cables.

drkat

just food for thought - any time you see the service-module you'll want to look at show service-module t1 - if it's a vwic then show controllers t1 is appropriate.

You do want to make sure linecode and framing is the same, along with your pin outs - looking at the configuration you should be OK the DTE/DCE is really for frame and not PPP

you can do remote loopbacks between the two to see if the controller changes states - with fixing the cable did it go up/down or still down/down

I'd also make a T1 Loopback plug just to check your controller cards

MAC_Addy

I did a loopback via command line and the lights changed to up. But via the WIC card it didn't change at all.

After I had corrected the cable it still showed as down/down.

I just made myself a couple of loopback plugs to test it out later.
