Routers connected via serial subinterfaces(for non VPN internet service in a mpls network)

[Toomaj Zanguee]

I have conected two cisco 7200 routes via one serial interface.

I am going to create two subinterfaces in each of them assign them IP address and connect them via (two BGP neighborship)

the fact is that they cannot even ping eachother though they are directly connected .

1. interfaces are no shut

2.L2 protocol is HDLS on both sides

3.the IPs are in the same subnets .

the question is how to connect two routers with serial sub-interfaces.?

this is my config on both routers , only the IPs are different:

int ser 1/0

no shut

encapsulation hdlc

clock rate 64000

int ser 1/0.1

subif)#ip add a.b.c.d x.x.x.x

Hello Gabriel,

Instead of using the HDLC, use frame-relay encap. Make one side as DCE. Use same DLCI on both sides.

R4#sh run int se2/0

interface Serial2/0

encapsulation frame-relay

frame-relay intf-type dce

R4#sh run int se2/0.1

interface Serial2/0.1 point-to-point
