Con®guring Serial Line Interfaces

The other router will take on the DTE role in terms of clocking and should be con®gured as if it were attached to a modem or CSU/DSU

Note: Con®guring a DTE as opposed to a DCE cable has no impact on whether or not the WAN net handler takes on the peer device. For example, the router always acts as a Frame Relay DTE device and uses a FR UNI interface even when a Frame Relay interface is con®gured to use a DCE cable.

Network Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Command

While serial line interfaces do not have their own console process for monitoring purposes, routers can display complete statistics for all installed network interfaces when you use the interface command from the GWCON environment. For more information on the interface command and displaying statistics, see Chapter 10. The Operating/Monitoring Process (GWCON - Talk 5) and Commands.
