Hello All,<br />
<br />
I'm getting a small lab setup to get some practice with the use of Frame-relay as well as troubleshooting. <br />
<br />
I have a cisco 2600 router configured to work as a frame relay switch. &nbsp;The router has two WIC T-1 CSU/DSU cards installed. I also have two samller Cisco 1602 routers which also each have a WIC T-1 CSU/DSU card installed. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
My one question is the cabling to use to conenct the smaller units to the Frame-relay switch.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;1602A&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;2600-Frame-Swicth&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;1602B&gt;<br />
(S0/0) WIC CSU/DSU &nbsp; &nbsp;------- &nbsp;WIC CSU/DSU (S0/0) | WIC CSU/DSU (S0/1) --------- WIC CSU/DSU (S0/0)<br />
<br />
Should I be using a patch ethernet cables, standard rollover cabling or some other CAT5 cableing with a different pinout?<br />
<br />
Please advise<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Cisco Router as Frame-Relay Switch cabling

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
