weird connectivity issue between serial0 connection and a switch
I have a Cisco 1720 router with a T1 CSU/DSU WIC in it. The building has a T3 that it splits up and gives to the companies in the building. They have given us an IP address that I used for the serial interface. After I configured the router (config to follow...), the WIC was in alarm. Couldn't figure out why. Eventually, I transformed an RJ-45 Ethernet cable into an RJ-48C cable (spliced wires 1,4 and 2,5) and the amber alarm light went off. Serial0 interface now shows as UP. However, the lights on the Router are all green, but there is no light on the switch. It's like the switch doesn't see it. I've switched cables, ports, etc. to no avail. The local network behind the router cannot access anything outside the router. Any ideas what is wrong? Here's the router config:

What, exactly, are you connecting the T1 interface to? It cannot plug into an Ethernet switch!
ASKER
Okay, so how can this be done then? Once again, I've got a single public IP that I have been assigned, and am using PAT on the router. My network of 5 or so people are behind the router. What do I connect the router's serial interface to?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
BTW... you connect the serial interface to nothing. :)

Thanks Pugglewuggle. That makes sense. I knew it was something easy I was just missing! I'll go buy a new WIC for it. Thanks again!!
