How to add Serial interfaces to CML routers

[jRyan_H]

Hi, I haven't found any routers with serial ports in the workbench. Does CML support serial interfaces? if so, how do I add them to the IOSv routers?

I don't think you can add serial ones; those have been diminishing from emulators, exams, real -world usage and necessity. 

you can use GNS3 if u really want to practice serial topologies

Or you could use Packet Tracer. for serial interfaces.

This is FOC and far less hassle to set up if you are studying for CCNA R &S or similar

CML Breakout UI shows the serial ports.  NOT SURE how the hell to access and configure those.

Are these showing just the telnet connections.??

Sorry for replying on years old thread however it might be helpful for someone looking for the same answer. The Serial ports listed in the breakout tool are the console serial ports which are to access the device. The are not the network serial ports. As already answered by Martin L, CML doesnt have an option to test serial network connections.
