Data Generating Capability of a Device is called Clock Rate.
If the clock rate is high, the processing will be slow down. If the clock rate is low, the processing will be high.
It depends on what type of router you have. Cisco 1841 router can have the clock rate of 2000000 or 64000.
When it needs to provide clocking for the serial line. This occurs when you are using a null-modem cable in a lab. You would apply the clock rate to the router that is connected as the DCE device.
A clock-rate is the speed at which the Serial connection sends data to another router and each connection must match the others clock-speed or a speed mismatch error will occur. For packet tracer, the clock-rate has no effect.
When the interface is functioning as a DCE device
The command is: clock rate 56000 So it will appear on the command line interface as: Router(config-if)# clock rate 56000 Reference: Networking by Jeffrey Beasley Chapter 6 page 216.
To configure the clock rate for the hardware connections on serial interfaces such as network interface modules (NIMs) and interface processors to an acceptable bit rate, use the clock rate interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove the clock rate if you change the interface from a DCE to a DTE device. Using the no form of this command on a DCE interface sets the clock rate to the hardware-dependent default value.
The interface is configured as a DCE device.
It is 100000 Hertz.
Clock rate describes how many impulses per second mainboard quartz crystal generates. These impulses are used as the synchronization source by mainboard components. The clock rate is measured in Herz.
Laptops do not have a specific clock speed. The clock speed of the specific processor that is in the laptop determines the clock rate of the computer. For example, my computer runs at a clock speed of 2 GHz. Some computers even have clock speeds close to 4 GHz.
in global configuration mode type this clock rate 64000 and hit enter
Clock rate must be set on an interface that is the DCE. This provides clocking for the DTE and helps with data transmission across the connection.
By increasing the clock rate, the microprocessor's speed can be increased but with a cost of more heat generation, which may sometimes rupture the processor.
