Configuring Serial Interfaces on the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router
This module describes the configuration of serial interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router.
Before you configure a serial interface, you must configure the clear channel T3/E3 controller or
channelized T1/E1controller (DS0 channel) that is associated with that interface.
