Hi Group, I got a 4500M+ with np-2t and 2 ethernet, I try to make a back to back connection for the np-2t port 0 and port 1 but the line protocol always down. I tried this setting on 2503 which is successful. Anyone can help on this? Here is the basic config. show controllers DCE V.35 serial cable attached, clockrate 19200 DTE V.35 serial cable attached sh run ...... interface Ethernet1 ip address 202.140.234.85 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast media-type 10BaseT ! interface Serial0 ip address 202.140.235.85 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast no ip mroute-cache clockrate 19200 ! interface Serial1 ip address 202.140.235.86 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast show int s0 Serial0 is up, line protocol is down Hardware is MK5025 Internet address is 202.140.235.85/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input 00:06:28, output 00:00:08, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: weighted fair Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops) Conversations 0/2/256 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 138 packets input, 9104 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 116 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 5 input errors, 5 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 223 packets output, 13503 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 39 interface resets 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out 60 carrier transitions Serial1 is up, line protocol is down Hardware is MK5025 Internet address is 202.140.235.86/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input never, output 00:00:06, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: weighted fair Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops) Conversations 0/1/256 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 60 packets output, 4999 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 13 interface resets 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out 28 carrier transitions Please help for this.
