Help with Verizon 3xT1 config for Cisco 2911 1

[mccombinc]

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am trying to configure a Cisco 2911 with VWIC3-1MFT-T1/E1 for a new Verizon 3xT1 circuit and have a few questions:

- do we need additional hardware to support this? I'm thinking I might need a WIC-2T as well? Or something else?
- Verizon just delivered this to our demarc location. What type of cabling do I need to bring this to our Cisco 2911? Do I need to split it to each interface?
- this mentions serial ports but I do not have any. Is that a problem or is there something I need to do to set this up?

Here is the Cisco config that Verizon provided for us:

Thanks in advance for any help. This is a bit beyond me.

Can you post the output from the following commands on your 2911?

Show version
Show config

Thanks, Brianpk, but right now the router is remote at the client. I won;t be able to get there until tomorrow, which is of course, when we have the activation call with Verizon too.

Well, based on the information I can only guess.

- do we need additional hardware to support this? I'm thinking I might need a WIC-2T as well? Or something else?

Most likely yes, you will need 3 T1 ports, if you only have one, you will need a card with 2 additional T1 ports that is compatible with Cisco 2911 like VWIC3-2MFT-T1/E1

- Verizon just delivered this to our demarc location. What type of cabling do I need to bring this to our Cisco 2911? Do I need to split it to each interface?

Just regular Cat5/6 cable, if it is a RJ45 handoff. Most of the times it is. You will need three cables with RJ45 connectors at each end.

- this mentions serial ports but I do not have any. Is that a problem or is there something I need to do to set this up?

When you add the additional WIC card, you will have 3 RJ45 connections for your T1 lines. These will show as Serial Interfaces in your router. If you already have one WIC installed (VWIC3-1MFT-T1/E1 ) then you should see one Serial Interface defined on the router.

Thanks, Brian. This is good to know as it confirms what we are thinking. We need to confirm there are three RJ45 jacks at the demarc location and get the pinout configuration for the cable runs we'll need.

 

[brainpk]

Most of the time it is just Straight Cat5/6 Cable, same pinouts on both ends.
