Configuring two Cisco 1601 routers on a IP circuit
i have just had a 1MB Megastream link put in and need to configure the two routers so that both sites can see each other.
It is a point to point link so i need to configure the ethernet and serial port, the question is i know what ip addresses to assign to the ethernet but do i use the same standard for the serial port.
For example:
Site A will have an ethernet ip address of 10.76.128.7 /24
Site A serial Ip address should be: ??????
Site B wil have an ip adress of 10.76.50.1 /24
Site B serial IP address should be: ?????
what else needs to be configured on the serial interface to enable both sites to see each other?
Also one of the sites need to see another network via other router which is on the same LAN, how is this configred?
Another problem i have is that the other router is on another site, is there anyway i can create a config file and then get someone on that site to upload it to the router?
IP is the only protocal we are using.
Thanks

No, you denfinitely don't use the same IP addresses on the serial interfaces. On the serial interfaces you can use something like: 10.1.1.1/24 on router A and 10.1.1.2/24 on router B. Then add static routes to the routers or use a routing protocol.
The static routes would then look like this:
On router A:
ip route 10.76.50.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
On router B:
ip route 10.76.128.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1
