setup cisco lab environment

How do I setup a cisco back to back lab environment

I have two 2600's one with a external DSU and on with an internal?

1)How do I pin out a TP (with RJ45 jacks) to each DSU
2)How do I configure both routers

Thanks

CHeck out the serial port FAQ for this forum which details this answer. The short version is to build a cable using

1-5
2-4
4-2
5-1

Configure the ports as a normal point to point serial link and let it rip. Great way to preconfigure routers before deployment.

I did this on both routers. Is it correct?
(Ip address is different)

interface Serial0/0
no ip address
no ip directed-broadcast
encapsulation frame-relay
no ip route-cache
no ip mroute-cache
no keepalive
no fair-queue
!
interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip route-cache
frame-relay interface-dlci 101
!

No, it's not correct. You setup encapsulation as Frame Relay. Wont work unless you have a frame switch ( or a router as one) Use HDLC as the encapsulation.

The subinterface is fine.. IP is fine but why the class C mask on a class A address? If you are trying to get something up and running for the first time, lets keep it simple. Use a class C and the normal mask. If you want to try best practices, use a .252 to get the 2 host IPs. This is good a security trick.

ip address 192.168.50.5 255.255.255.252

! this gives .5 and .6 as the two IPs. .4 is the wire and .7 is your broadcast

What is the proper way to configure bridging
between ethernet and token ring segments. I have a cisco 2613 with the appropriate interfaces. I have only configured a bridge group.


Thanks

source-bridge ring-group 10
source-bridge transparent 10 11 1 1
!
interface tokenring 0
source-bridge 1 1 10
source-bridge spanning
!
interface ethernet 0
bridge-group 1
!
bridge 1 protocol ieee

Here is a link with a very nice explantion on how to do this in detail. I had to look it up myself since I do it so rarely

Can you setup HSRP on two routers with ethernet interfaces on different subnets?

Example:
E0 on router 1 - 192.168.2.1
E0 on router 2 - 192.168.10.1

HSRP address 192.168.25.254
