Connecting Cisco Routers in the same room

[Splice33]

I'm just starting into my CCNA, and I have two routers. Is there a way to connect both thier serials to each other?

Yes you can, but you need a serial to serial cable to do that. Hmmm i cant remeber what is the part number for that, but you can easily get them from ebay for cheap.

just connect one interface to the other.

wan-2-wan
T1-2-T1

token ring to token ring
ethernet to ethernet

You will want to hook the serial to serial up, Leaving the ethernet for hosts. You will need a DTE to DCE serial cable, or an expensive Telco simulator.

yes, a DTE to DCE is the correct cable, just as Cscutch said. You also must specify one side to be the dte, and one the dce (iirc).
