2 serial interfaces on a 1601?

[shrigz]

If I insert a second serial inteface on a 1601 router, will both lines be able to handle the full 2Mb lines that they will have going through them? As in is the router capable of handling this throughput?

Depending on how much sustained traffic you are pushing through, I don't forsee this to be a problem.

To check the load on the router, you can login in (go to enable mode) and type:

sh processes cpu (shows processor utilization)
sh processes mem (shows memory utilization)

This should give you an indication on how well your router is doing.


Good luck,
