We are looking to get a point to point from office a to office b with a T1 line. We have several spare cisco 1721 routers and wanted to see if we could use those to connect the two offices? I am not sure if we will be able to use a 1721 to terminate? Does anyone have any helpful information on configuring a PPP over ethernet between two offices?

Hello..
If you carrier provide you a T1 to make the point to point link between the two offices you need two serial interfaces one for each 1721.
If you don´t have the serial interfaces for the 1721, you need to change the T1 link to an ethernet link, (a lot of carriers provide this solutions).
I hope this help you.
Regards.
Rodolfo.

hello phusion36,
I'm in a similar postion. I have 2 1750's and conected threw a t1. I've been looking for a basic configuration. I can only find the more complcated config's. That use the pap chap authencation, isdn dail-up, multi-link. Which I can find instructions on those topic's, but my employer said they want just the basic config.
In school we set one up threw a dte-dce serial connection. Im wondering if I can set it up, the same way, with the 1dsuT1 connection. like setting the clockrate, and ip route?
Also does anyone know of any free tutorials on cisco?

On the 1721 you'll need to get a T-1 WIC card for each router.
