The two port serial network processor module has a different port than the
60 pin molex that you see on most newer routers. The cables are available.
>From specialty cable vendors (such as LoDanWest) if not from Cisco. The
Cisco part number for a V.35 DTE is CAB-NPV35TV2 and for a V.35 DCE is
CAB-NPV35CV2.
In a lab scenario you most likely will be connecting to a 2500 series that
does use the 60 pin serial ports. You have several choices on how to make
that connection. (a) Buy Cisco cables. One for the 4500 and one for the
2500. One will be DTE. The other DCE. The resulting cable is 20' long. (b)
Buy a specialty back to back cable.
What you propose is do-able. You will most likely pay a little more for the
odd cables. If you have additional budget, consider buying a four port
serial module instead of the two port. I've seen them on eBay in the
$600-700 range. It uses the 60 pin connectors. That will be your Frame Relay
switch among other things.
Around Y2K Cisco was providing free IOS updates to 11.0 or 11.1 for some
routers. Check to see if you can still get that. Anyone else know the
details??
