Incorrect serial showing via she run

hi I think originally I may have taken the (wic 2t serial card) from a 3600 router.

When I looked on eBay I did find same serial cards on viewing stating that the card worked with the 2600 albeit I did not see (xm) & also 3600 & other routers.

One thing I did not try is taking another card from another 2600 as the wic 2t cards all visually look identical & show the expected serial numbers as expected as it states the serials 0 & 1 clearly on the cards except the iOS shows serial 0 & 2 as explained.

So I assumed maybe I need to re-partition & re-format & then upload iOS again but I cannot find this anywhere ???

I will however compare version on both good 2600 & other 2600 showing incorrect serial 0/2 instead of serial 0/1.

appreciated

hi I've put the 2 working wic 2t serials into the supposed faulty 2650xm & both show as the same issue:

serial 0/1
serial 0/2 - incorrect should be 0/1

When I also remove supposed wic 2t serial from 2650xm & put in both good 2650 & 2650xm it shows as expected:

serial 0/0
serial 0/1

so it appears there is something wrong with my 2650xm & have deleted & copied another completely different iOS version then copied back the required iOS but same problem.

Any ideas other than maybe having to re-partition or reformat, just incase or at least as a last attempt ??

I have also ran the 'squeeze'

hi I'm only a member/guest of cisco.

I will open it up & have a look & let you know today sometime.

on each router it's marked up on the outside as the following:

2650 - 1 router
2650xm - x 2 (1 of these shows the serial0/2)
all have identical ios

In that case, I guess that serial connection could be functional even if it is marked as s0/2, but it is even better - you solved the mystery.
:)

Yes it now shows as correct interface number serial0/1.

So all good.

I will allocate points either way so thanks.

You're welcome.

Even though I resolved it myself I appreciate good advice so allocating points anyway.
