I had VWIC-2MFT-T1's in my rack and got it to work. It's a total pain, though.
I got very tired of adding: card type t1 0 1 controller t1 0/1/0 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 to the beginning of every config and adding ":0" to the end of every Serial interface for all routers initial configs every lab. By the 25th lab, I was really wishing I had just written a shell script. ; ) -Dave On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 11:24 AM, Di Bias, Steve <[email protected]>wrote: > Well I tried to use these cards in my frame switch and never got it > working. > > In the end I swapped out the VWIC-2MFT-T1's for WIC-1DSU-T1's and my frame > switch started working like a champ! > > I found an article that shows its possible (according this guy), but I > couldn't get it working myself > > > http://dreamforccie.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/convert-your-e1t1-pri-to-serial-interface/ > > After enabling "frame-relay switching" I created the serial interfaces and > configured my hub and spoke but to no avail.
