| Just bought a used router and i have been trying to configure the serial interfaces but they continue to stay down every time i issue the no shutdown command. I`m using a cisco 2504 i`ve configured ip address on the interfaces and i just using a single router,i figured the line protocol would stay down because the interfaces are not connected to anything,but i don`t know why the interface will not come up.....There is also an token-ring interface which does the same thing even confdigured the ring speed,and none of my interfaces will come up. | |

| you have no physical or protocol connection, thus down/down.

| Thanks,i guess i`m to use to these routersims.That`s why i decided to buy a real router.....things are quite a bit diffrent......trying to now learn on the physical equipment.......so i only have 1 router and it would seem there`s not much i can do with it,so i guess i need to purchase at least 1 more router huh? | |

| For serial interface, physical will come up if Carrier Detect (CD) is up. For ethernet interface, physical will come up after you supply 'no shut' command. | |

| Hello,
When you plug your cable into your Serial port is it a DCE or DTE cable. I was going to suggest setting the clock rate if it was a DCE.
Hope this helps.
