Hi

Below is a config i was given of a Cisco 1603 that dials up via ISDN to head office. Could anyone tell me why there is no config for Eth 0(no ip address ect) and also it has no phone number entry to dial head office. I am not fimilar with some of commands in config so i must be missing something as it works fine.

First, here is remote router that dials into Bri on Cisco 2503.

Max,
When you say that it works fine, what does the Newport router actually do that is defined as being "operational" :-? As you've stated, there is no directly connected LAN to the newport router ethernet, so it appears that the Newport router is doing nothing more than establishing a WAN connection via ISDN. Is this the current config or a perhaps one that was still in progress.

Jimmy,

I have been handed this project but to be honest i am baffled with the Newport routers purpose as it does not have Eth link to Lan. as you said it might be used for establishing WAN link. What would be be the purpose of this as i have never come accross this before. This is the current config and according to the companys network administrator everything works fine. I might drop him a line and ask him purpose of newport router.

Maybe the connection to the 1603 is via the console port which would enable you to logon and then telnet to remote router(s) for administration purposes.

After talking to administrator about this he mailed me the config from newport and it was totally different and made a bit more sense this time. He is still not sure where the config above came from????
Thanks
