I go into serial0/0 and input clock rate 64000 I get the message Can't configure clock rate on a dte interface. I tried switching the cable to the DCE side, and get the same results.
Have you tried on another interface?
Maybe there is a fault with the interface or cable?
Try switching the cable and try the cable on another interface.
Normally once the DTE/DCE cable is connected and the clock rate is set you shoud see the interface as showing:
Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is up
If it is:
Serial0/0 is down, line protocol is down (down, down)
Then there is a problem with the physical layer (cable or connectors)
If it is:
Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is down (up, down)
Then there is a programming fault.
Type: show controllers serial 0/0
to see if it is DTE or DCE
Let me see if I understand this....
If i connect the dce end of the cable to a serial interface, that will make that interface dce?
The state of the interface is a function of the cable type plugged into it?
I thought I tried various combinations with several interfaces and routers. But if you guys confirm the above is true, I'll go home tonight and switch cables and interfaces.
