Configuring the Serial Interface

This chapter describes configuring serial interface management in the following sections:

Legacy Protocol Transport, page 8-2

How to Configure Serial Interfaces, page 8-6

Configuration Examples, page 8-19

The Cisco 819 Integrated Services Router (ISR) supports synchronous by default and asynchronous serial interface protocols.

Configuring the serial interface in the Cisco 819 ISR allows you to enable applications such as WAN access, legacy protocol transport, console server, and dial access server. It also allows remote network management, external dial-modem access, low-density WAN aggregation, legacy protocol transport, and high port-density support.

Serial interfaces enables the following features:

WAN access and aggregation

Legacy protocol transport

Dial access server

Serial interfaces can be used to provide WAN access for remote sites. With support for serial speeds up to 8 Mbps, it is ideal for low- and medium-density WAN aggregation.
