Need help with VWIC2-2MFT-G703 and a Cisco 2811

[tsadi]

i have no experince with this module so this might be something very simple. i tunred off the router and installed the module in HWIC1 and powered up the router.

when i do a "show running" there is no serial interface, i had hope to see serial 0 and 1

ive read the post called "Multiflex trunk configuration for data T1" is this what my module (VWIC2-2MFT-G703) is called?

is there something i need to do to "create" a serial 0 and 1 interface?

hope you can help, im a little lost here.

you need to define your "channel groups" or t1s by assigning the timeslots to the controller.

near the top of your config youll see a section like
controller T1 0

youll need to go on that in conf mode and make the assignments.. example

controller T1 0
channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 speed 64

when you do that youll see a serial interface get created...
it will be something like
serial0:0

it may vary dependig on your hardware but that is the jist of it...

Also, i get no respons on the command: Router#card ? (trying to set card type to "e")

the command does not excist on the 2800 it seems.

 

[plshlpme]

if you sho the config... it will be easier to show you what you need to put in it

thats the top of my running config. do you mean "! card type command needed for slot 0" ?

the card type command is not regoniced.

 

[plshlpme]

its a little lower in the config...

 

[plshlpme]

ie never needed to use that command but in global config
can you type
card type (T1-E1) ??

youll of course need to be in global config

so conf t
then try card ?

 

[plshlpme]

here is some config examples from cisco

okay let me just get tera term first, will take 2min.

thx for your time.

okay, just as i had downloaded tera term and tried the "card type command" it now responded to it. it didnt do that with "hyper terminal" duh (gonna test this later)

anyway, now i got the card type set to E1 and i got light in the module now!

(Asminderoed(config)#card type e1 0 0)

new running...:

i guess my next task is to create serial 0 and 1 interfaces now?

 

[plshlpme]

yes so in configuration mode
youll need to go

conf t
controller E1 0/0/0
channel-group 1 timeslots 1-12 speed 64

something like that...
when you configure the speed of your link it will create a serial interface which you can put your configuration on.

so in this case you would then have a
serial e1/0/0/0:1

 

[tsadi]

i think i got it, thx alot guys.

controller E1 0/0/0
channel-group 0 unframed

 

[tsadi]

i dont get it, did i do something wrong? i mean shouldnt i be able to ping serial 0 and 1 when pinging from a PC connected to Eth0 having the IP 192.100.200.l0

i can ping the lan interface (my gateway) but not my serial interfaces, something i missed?

im a little confushed here. should i be able to ping a serial interface that is not connected wiht a cable/router in the other end?

should i be able to see it in "sho ip route"?

if not, then its probably working fine once i get the other router and i can go to bed, finally

 

[tsadi]

okay, both s0 and s1 are down/down so i need another router and configure dce/dte

i think im home safe now.

 

[plshlpme]

yes just make sure you put the same encap at the other end of the link (ppp in this case) and you shuold see you interface come right up when the keepalives start coming across.
