5 Configuration for Fractional DS3 Point-to-Point This configuration describes a simple point-to-point fractional DS3 connection from an ImageStream 530 series DS3/E3 (531-DE, 532-DE) port to a Cisco PA-T3 port in a 7xxx series router. On both WAN ports, the address of the WAN port is set to an IP address on a common IP network, and the destination addresses are set to the IP address of WAN port of the unit on the far side of the link. ====ETHERNET===================== /24 === LAN IP: ImageStream Serial WAN IP: /30 ( ) [-] CSU/DSU (integrated on WAN card) DS3 WAN with 6 Mbps [-] CSU/DSU (integrated on WAN card) WAN IP: /30 ( ) Serial0 Cisco LAN IP: ====ETHERNET===================== /24 === Before You Start Be sure to have three separate IP subnets, one for the WAN network and two for the Ethernets connected to the routers. Each WAN port connected to the point-to-point WAN must have it's own IP address from the same IP network. Since they are on the same IP network, they will have the same netmask. These IP network addresses are given to you by your Internet Service Provider, your leased line carrier, or by ARIN. If you do not plan to connect you network to the Internet, you can use an IP network address set aside for private use. The IP network address for private use can be found in RFC Most people will use as we have in this example. Fractional DS3 1

6 Configuring The WAN Ports In this example, we are going to assume the following: The ImageStream router has an Ethernet IP address of with a netmask of The ImageStream router has a WAN IP address of with a netmask of The Cisco router has an Ethernet IP address of with a netmask of The Cisco router has a WAN IP address of with a netmask of The ImageStream router is providing Internet access to the Cisco router. The WAN port on both routers is Serial0. The DS-3 is a 6Mbit fractional connection. The DS-3 is fractionalized in Digital Link mode. The IP addresses used in this Technical Note are examples only. You will need to use an IP network given to you by your Internet Service Provider.

If you have connected to the correct port, double-check the telephone company smart jack or other telephone company-installed equipment for your circuit. The smart jack should show no red alarms if the cables are connected. If, after connecting the cables correctly, you have errors on the telephone company equipment, contact your line provider for assistance. If hardware shows "up", but protocol shows "down", you should see the PPP negotiation and see the status of the WAN port change to up. At this point you should be able to ping the other side. If you have an external CSU/DSU, put the CSU/DSU into a local loopback. This will cause each packet sent to the CSU/DSU to reflect back to the WAN port. This is for testing only, the line will not function while the CSU/DSU is in a local loopback. If, in the interface statistics detail output for the port, you see transmitted packets immediately received on the same port, then you can determine the following facts: 1. The WAN port on the router is sending and receiving data. 2. The cable and connectors between the router and the CSU/DSU are functioning. 3. The DTE port on the CSU/DSU is functioning. 4. THE ROUTER IS FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD. If you don't get your packets back immediately on the same interface: 1. For cards with a software-selectable serial interface, check that you have specified the cor 2. That all cables are securely connected. 3.
