How do you get more WICs unto a 3925 router?

jackmiller708 — Fri, 08 May 2015 16:15:03 +0800

Hello all,
We have a customer that has an old 3925 router with the following interfaces:
VIC3-4FXS/DID
2x HWIC-4A/S
VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1
2x VWIC2-2MFT-G703
NM-2FE2W-V2
For a totla of 6x WIC cards. I know we can combine the 2x HWIC 4A/S into an HWIC-8A but it still leaves us with 5 WIC card in a 4 WIC chassis because of the end of sale on the NM-2FE2W-V2 which has been terminated.
This device is in a space and power restricted environment so the quick and expensive solution of getting 2x 3925E would not be feasible.
Is there another Cisco device that would support 5 WIC cards out there?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to setup a lab with 3 routers

I'm trying to setup a lab with 3 routers where I'm using VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 cards. I'd like to really take advantage of these cards being that they came with the routers. I'm having trouble bringing up the interfaces. I'm showing a serial interface up, line protocol down. Being that I'm using T1 crossover cables and not a DCE/DTE cable, I don't believe the clock rate command will apply here. Am I correct in this assumption? I also tried chaning the encapsulation to PPP, but I still can't bring the interface up. What am I missing? I tried using the 'debug serial interface' but I still need to learn to use it. Any suggestions?

Hi All,
I've 2 Q's I'd like some help with
1. We have bought some Cisco WS-C2960X-48FPD-L switches – do they do Layer 3 routing out of the box?
2. Assuming the answer to the above is no, can we do a software update to the above or have we bought the wrong kit?
Really appreciate any help with this.
Cheers

How do I connect X2-10GB-SR=, optics to GLC-SX-

jackmiller708 — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:21:00 +0800

Hi,

I am new to optics and I had a question.

Is it possible to connect a 10G optics to a 1G optics using a SC/LC multimode jumber.

Will change the clockrate at 1oG side solve the issue?

Or do i have to have strictly 10G to 10G link or 1G to 1G link?

Thanks,
Will appreciate any help.
