TWO ROUTERS CONFIGURATION USING SERIAL CABLE
STATIC IP + ACL CONFIGURATION (WITH COMMANDS) β 2025 GUIDE
1. INTRODUCTION
ACL LIST STATIC IP CONFIGURATION TWO ROUTERS WITH SERIAL CABLE WITH COMMANDS 2025
n networking, connecting two routers using a serial cable is a classic and important concept.
It is commonly used in:
WAN (Wide Area Network)
ISP connections
CCNA / Network exams
Lab practice using Cisco Packet Tracer or real routers
In this guide, you will learn:
How to connect two routers using a serial cable
How to configure static IP addresses
How to configure static routing
How to configure ACL (Standard & Extended)
How to verify and troubleshoot the configuration
2. NETWORK TOPOLOGY (BASIC DESIGN)

One router must be DCE
One router must be DTE
DCE router requires clock rate
Check using:
show controllers serial 0/0/0
5. ROUTER 1 CONFIGURATION (R1)
ACL LIST STATIC IP CONFIGURATION TWO ROUTERS WITH SERIAL CABLE WITH COMMANDS 2025
Step 1: Enter Configuration Mode
enable
configure terminal
hostname R1
Step 2: Configure LAN Interface
interface fastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
Step 3: Configure Serial Interface
interface serial0/0/0
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252
clock rate 64000
no shutdown
exit
Step 4: Configure Static Route
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2
6. ROUTER 2 CONFIGURATION (R2)

Step 1: Enter Configuration Mode
enable
configure terminal
hostname R2
Step 2: Configure LAN Interface
interface fastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
Step 3: Configure Serial Interface
interface serial0/0/0
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252
no shutdown
exit
Step 4: Configure Static Route
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1
7. PC CONFIGURATION
PC1
IP: 192.168.1.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
PC2
IP: 192.168.2.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
8. TEST CONNECTIVITY (BEFORE ACL)

From PC1:
ping 192.168.2.10
From Router:
show ip route
show ip interface brief
