Yes. This is true for all Cisco physical interfaces, although you can
use "no keepalive" in most cased to fool them into showing UP, UP.
This is a good thing, used as a detection mechanism to quickly withdraw
networks from the routing table if an interface becomes disconnected. If
you've assigned an IP address to the interface, you'll observe that it does
not show as "connected" until the interface is really connected t osomething
and thus UP, UP.
