cisco iou on unix
My first week with cisco iou on unix; it has been nightmare thus far. i am trying to setup a point to point link between two routers but i have not made any progress for 3 days.
router1:
ip address serial1/0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252
default telnet ip address: 192.168.126.128 port 2001
line protocol: up down
router2:
ip address serial1/0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.252
default telnet ip address: 192.168.126.128 port 2002
line protocol: up down
Both r1 and r2 are DCE
Do i need a serial cable "like gns3" to make router1 respond to router2? or what should i bring the link between r1 and r2 up? Thanks in advance for you all your help....

the first number is the router application ID second is the port, there is a calculation for the port and it is:
(x and y being, interface x/y)
port = x + (y * 16)
so to connect r1 to r2 using ports 1/0 on r1 and 1/0 on r2, you need to in the netmap file with r1 having app ID of 100 and r2 having app ID of 200.
in the netmap file it should have
100:1 200:1
then start your routers like so
./<cisco_iou_file> 100 -s 2
./<cisco_iou_file> 200 -s 2
this would start your routers with ids of 100 and 200 and 8 serial ports at 0/y set and 1/y set (I think)
also you need a clock rate, not sure if you configured it.
Please correct me if I am wrong its been a while since i played with cisco's IOU
If you have any other questions just ask I will be glad to help
I'm really liking it for studying. I wish Cisco would market and release it...
It would be a advantage knowing iou quirks if this is the situation.
L2IOU.... I gave up on it when I couldn't get something as simple as a trunk link to work.
Thank you
