in CCNA & CCENT
Hi every one,
I'm now decided to buy 2 X 1760 routers and 1 X 2620XM ,thats give more flexability in feuture to add more gears for CCNP, but I want to ask about the WIC interfaces...
There is WIC-2T serial int. which is run from 128Mbps to 1.544Mbps.. right?
also there is WIC 2A/S serial int. which is run only 128Mbps
and both using the smart cables...
I'm I able to connect these interfaces together without having a speed problem/ mismutch? and which one better for the CCNA exam.(have more features)?
Also about DSU-T1 and DSU-56k, are they usefull in some how? meanning Can I use them to connect to routers in same subnet, run RIPs, or my be PPP/FR, if so, what cable I should use in between (Crossover or St.)?
Little note: (WIC-2T 2 ports prices on ebay about 40$, WIC A/S 2 ports about 23$, DSU-T1/56K it comes with the routers some time)..

115.2kbps asynch or 8Mbps synch and minimum speed of 600bps

Can also use wic1t's - cables and connectors are bulkier
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps3129/products_tech_note09186a00800b0859.shtml
You can get serial cross over cables to connect between wic1ts and wic2t's
can also get nm4a/nm8a for 2600's
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps274/products_tech_note09186a00800a93f1.shtml
and nm16a/32a which are more for use in terminal servers

Ya, for WIC A/S Serial Synchronous maximum speed of 128 Kbps/Aysnchronous maximum speed of 115.2 Kbps and a minimum of 600 bps

but still not know if I can connect them togather (WIC 2T and WIC A/S)In Progress: MCTS Network Infa

alxx Member Posts: 755You can using smart serial cables . 2as just runs slower (possibly a few less features)
Just remember to put the right end of the cable on the right connector(dte/dce - marked on the connector)
and keep the clock speed in the range for the 2as.
