Is there any way to choose if a serial interface is DCE or DTE? If I start a new lab with serveral 1720 serials in wic0 seem to be all DCE's and serials in wic1 DTE's.

I wonder if I could change it. Also, is there any way to select the serials to make the connection?, because it always uses the first free serial to make the connection.

Being able to select DTE/DCE and wich serials to use for connections should be very interesting for my CCNP test labs. By the moment what I'm doing is leaving a DCE conecting to another DCE but only configuring the clock in one of them and I'm not sure if that is a good idea...

Hello,
I don't think there is a way to change it (from DCE to DTE).
By the way, see <http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?t=6830>.

But there is a way to select the interface: Set "Always use manual mode when adding links" under General in the Preferences before you try to add the (serial) connection!
See <http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?t=6803>.

HTH!
Bye, Tore

Thank you for the fast answer crissa. Very useful the manual mode for adding links.

In the post you make reference Timw says GNS3 doesn't emulate the physical layer, so I suppose for GNS3 all serial intefaces will have the 1544 Kbit no matter the clock rate...

By the way, very cool that slogan!!! "Do Clock Enable"
