I am in the process of setting up a lab scenario to test some FTP situations for Sun Solaris boxes we have at my company. Here's what I have. Two Cisco 2620's with WIC2T and WIC2A/S, four 2924XL's, two PC's one running FTP server, one running the FTP client. I want to emulate with a cable a T1 between them with no CSU/DSU's, so the router would be providing clocking. My problem is, I tried hooking a V.24 DCE (male) to a V.24 DTE (female) Cisco cables to the "smartjacks" of the WIC2T, I set the bandwidth to 1544 KB and the clock rate to 2000000. I'd get an up when I connect the cables, but a few seconds later I would get a down. I am encapsulating PPP over the link and have an IP route setup for it. Any ideas? One fellow mention that he didn't think DTE/DCE could provide more than 128K, so I would need like V.35 cables. Does someone (Blackbox?) make a V.35 male to V.35 female cable to the Cisco "Smartjacks"? Do they need to crossover? Will this get me my T1 speed I need to emulate?
I've racked my brain, and tried various cables all afternoon with no sucess.
