Aha! Now we're talking. I was making the assumption you were
discussing higher-layer configs. This person is talking about physical
layer configuration of your CSU/DSU. In that situation you do have a
master/slave relationship. Usually, the CSU/DSU is the 'slave' and
derives its clocking from the line.
If you have a router with built-in CSU/DSUs then you'd need to
configure the router appropriately.

Thanks for the reply...
Basically, the person at the telco (Verizon) told me that
point-to-point
interfaces, such as the one I am using between 2 sites, needs to have
a
master and a slave for clocking purposes :-) I have never heard of
this
myself, and thought like you said, with HDLC all you need to do is give
the
serial interface an ip address.
Thanks again for responding!

Whoever told you that should be smacked soundly and then asked to
clarify and justify the statement.
In what context was this discussed? Off the top of my head I have no
idea what this might be referring to. It requires no special effort
to
get the link up and running.
If you have a Cisco router on each end, set the IP address and you're
off and running. If either router is non-Cisco then you'll also need
to
set PPP encapsulation. That's all that's needed for connectivity.
Perhaps this person was somehow referring to database exchanges in
OSPF, but that also doesn't make much sense because Master and Slave
are
chosen dynamically. Which one is which is of no consequence.
Hmm....I really just can't figure that one out. Please let us know
more about the specifics. It would be interesting to figure out what
this person is trying to communicate to you.
HTH,

Hey all,
I was told that on a point-to-point dedicated T1, one router needs to
be
setup as a master, and the other router
needs to be setup as a slave...
Is there any truth to this, and if so, how would I go about doing it?
I have never heard of anything like this before.
Again, it isn't frame-relay, it's just a dedicated point-to-point
link.
Thanks a million in advance,
