Yes you do have to set a clockrate when connecting like that! The clock rate with go on the serial port with the DCE end of the cable in it. The correct command will be: Router(config-int)# clockrate 56000 -Brian Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=43768&t=43759 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
