I am replacing a failed Cisco 1720 router with a Cisco 2600 for a full Internet T-1 and need help.
Can anyone look this over and tell me how far off i am from a good config. I basically used the config in my 1720. My concern is that the config from the 1720 does not utilize a serial 0/0.1 interface. What is this for and do I need it?

Thanks,

First i want to thank you. Second, what I ment is; "this is what I'm planning to do, is it OK?"
Would you be able to elaborate on when you should use serial 0/0.1?

Gladly :-)
You tend to use subinterfaces in Serial lines when you've got "channelised" circuits.
T1 is a good example of this, as it is essentially formed from 24 x 64Kb channels.
Rather than using all 24 channels in the same point-to-point link, your telco can actually split these up. A useful example of this is where you have a central site and lots of remote sites. The central site would have one T1 circuit, and the channels from the remote sites would be delivered over it. (I've not explained that very well, but hopfully you've got the gist)
For this to work, you create "subinterfaces" - these are essentially a channel (or number of channels) on the physical serial interface.
Does that help?

Very much so!
Thank you!!! I am off to go and replace the 1720. I will let everyone know how it went later.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You can also use subinterfaces when configuring for frame relay or atm. You don't mention what type of serial connection you currently have.
You can't use subinterfaces with encapsulation ppp
ASKER
T-1 1-24 & encapsulation ppp
Then this is the correct configuration:
interface Serial0/0
ip address 216.54.233.XXX 255.255.255.XXX
encapsulation ppp
no fair-queue
service-module t1 timeslots 1-24
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 216.54.233.XXX 255.255.255.XXX
encapsulation ppp
no fair-queue
service-module t1 timeslots 1-24
!
Actually, assuming you have the T1 WIC, this is all you need to configure on the interface:
interface Serial0/0
ip address 216.54.233.XXX 255.255.255.XXX
encapsulation ppp
no shutdown
Any new router, or any router with default config will have all ports shutdown until you enable them with "no shutdown"
The timeslots command is default so no need to add it to the config.
interface Serial0/0
ip address 216.54.233.XXX 255.255.255.XXX
encapsulation ppp

Thanks again.
TeamPyro - the config you posted doesn't use subinterfaces, so the PPP should work.
I assume that your comment about subinterfaces was justfor information?
lrmoore is right, interfaces are shut down by default. I didn't mention it as you posted a config that didn't show the interface as being down; the config also showed the "service-module t1 timeslots 1-24" - which is a default setting if you're using the entire T1.
Have you had chance to try it yet?

For my info only, that is correct.
I must also appologize to all. I installed this router after your last reply on 08/19/04. It came right up!!!!! Thanks for your and everyone's help that replied.
Also, thank you very much for the added bonus info for my benefit.

Hi. Thanks for the "A". I'm glad that I could help and it worked for you :-)

;-)
At first glance, I can't see anything wrong with this config.
If you're not using partial T1, then the "service-module t1 timeslots 1-24" would be the default.
You asked what Serial 0/0.1 meant:
Serial - Serial interface
0 - Slot 0 of the router
0 - Interface 0 of Slot 0
1 - Subinterface 1 of interface 0 of slot 0
Does that make sense?
I can't see anything in this config that refers to Serial0/0.1 though.
Is your question meant to be "this is what I'm planning to do, is it OK?" or "this is what I have done and it doesn't work?"
If it's the former, then I'd say it looks fine to me!
If it's the latter, let me know and we'll do some more diagnostics :-)
Hope that this helps
