Hello Group,

I have a 8-port serial adapter on a 7200 series router, with a octal cable.
what i basically need to do is , configure one port for frame-relay
encapsulation and as a dce port .

The problem is , when i do sh controllers serial port, it shows up as a DTE
port,
I have configured the serial port, as frame-relay intf-type dce as well as
frame-switching but i cannot configure the clockrate command (command not
available under intf mode) since i believe the cable is DTE.
Need a confirmation, To make a serial interface , DCE with FR encap, we need
the clockrate command as well.

Actually i am in a fix, bcos its a Octal cable, and this router has to be DCE,
or can i convert one of the legs of the octal cable to DCE by attaching one
more cable.

Pls advise

Thanks
Naresh
