I am using this router to replace a 2811 that is currently running with 2 CSU/DSU cards. There are two point to point T1 lines that connect to the branch properties. When i install the 2851, i dont get any routing over the T1 lines. The router always tries to route info over the GE0/1 connection. I have tested this using the tracert command and trying to get to a branch property. THis is my first time setting up a dual T1 card, so i am not sure if i am missing something.

Any help on this matter would be great.

Don't see why you would be running 56. I'd change and verify both are running at 64

Seeing the other side of the config would help.
 
First check to make sure that your Serial interfaces are in the up/up state. Then take a look at your route statements:

ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.10.6
ip route 10.1.37.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/3/0:0
ip route 172.30.10.0 255.255.255.0 Serial0/3/1:1


The ip classless command ensures that routing follows the longest match rule stating that the preferred route will be the longest match. I see you have a default route pointing to 172.16.10.6 which is whatever is on the other end of Interface GigabitEthernet0/1. For whatever reason, this is the longest match in whatever address you are trying to route to. If you are trying to get to:

10.1.37.0/24 or
172.30.10.0

then one of the serial addresses should be used.
 
I will make the changes to 64.

Belushi, i do not currently have the router connected to everything because where it is going, i cannot leave the connections down for too long. But when i did do a show interface command the serials were in a down/down state. Since the router is not connected to the T1 lines, should the serials at least be in a up/down state? Indicating the interface is ready but that there is no line connected. If this is the case, how do i get the interfaces into an up/down state?

thanks again.
 
If the serial interfaces are not connected to anything you will have a down/down state. The first down represent the physical layer and the second represents the data link layer.

If the only interfaces you have up are the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces it makes snese that everything routes out G0/1. That is the default route. None of the other more specific routes come into play because the interfaces are down.
 
Well, i used the no shutdown command and got both serials in a up/down state. I am connecting them to exisisting, and working T1 lines.
 
I think i found the next problem. I noticed, while looking at the excisting routers config, that the encapsulation on the serial connections is HDLC and not PPP. So i am going to reconfig with HDLC and try it again in the morning. i will report back my findings.

Thank you for the help so far.
 
Thank you for the link KiscoKid.

I have my new 2851 installed and running great. To solve the problems i was having, i used the "shut" and "no shut" commands on each serial port to reset them. I then set the correct encapsulation on each serial port. After that, i got an up/up state on each serial port and data has been flowing smoothly ever since.

Thank you all for the help.
