If I recall correctly, Asynch ports run at 115Kbps line rate (referred to as 'low-speed serial ports').
The idea behind using such a piece of hardware in the 2600/3600 routers is to make that specific router the "Terminal Server" to console into all the other routers. You could also connect back-to-back asynchs, I suppose, but I've never done it myself. -----Original Message----- From: hepppy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 10:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help making a frame relay switch [7:64224] Hi all, Sorry for being Naive. I am interested in creating a lab with some 10 X 26xx routers. I need to create a frame realy switch. I am not sure what to use. I have seen a Lab a couple of months back which had 8 DB60 serial cables connected to the 26xx router. Now I don;t have one of those with me, hence was searching on the net to purchase one. And I found a Description of 8 port Asynch/Synch and 2 port serial. The question is Is Asynch port the same as serial ports. Can I connect DB60 back to back cables to Asynch ports. Any other suggestions or help to make this Frame realy switch will be appreciated.... Thanks to all... regds hepppy Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=64234&t=64224 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
