Usually "Protocol Down, Link Up" indicates that you have mismatched encapsulation, LMI-Type, or even incorrect IP Addressing (wrong Subnet or incorrect Subnet Mask) between your end and the other end of the FR Network. If no LMI is exchanged, then the LMI-Type is incorrect between that Serial Interface and the Service Provider Frame Switch. If this is a Frame Relay LAB setup, double-check your Frame Relay "Switch" configuration. If this is a Production Setup, contact your ISP and verify your Frame Relay configuration parameters. (LMI-Type, DLCI, etc.) On the No Shut command, I'd use it last on each interface you configure. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Monu Sekhon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 7:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Frame-Relay issue [7:63446] Hi Larry/John, I forgot to mention no shut in the above confif while writing here, Its still there and connection does not come out See I mentioned that while giving command by command manually connection comes out. It seems to me that while the interface is down during that frame-relay LMIs think that interface is down and make the link down. I am rather confused.I dont know but this is happening. again writing config: ---------- interface Serial0 shut (if i give here no shut then link comes up at one go) encapsulation frame-relay frame-relay lmi-type cisco no shut exit interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point no shutdown ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 frame-relay interface-dlci 108 exit and also John try these in your router but at one go the interface will not come up as far i know .I agree with ur confguration and mine is also correct .Its said by Prisicilla and others that shutting a interface is good practise while configuring encap types.This i read in one of the previous Posts. so can u all reply what is the problem here in show ip interface it shows as protocol down , physical link up. sh frame-relay pvs shows as inactive.no lmi are exchanged. any help will be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------- Larry Letterman wrote: > > enter the no shut command into your cut and paste script for > the Int Ser0 and it will > come up..all interfaces in a router are always defaulted to > shutdown..In your case the > Main interface needs to be no shut in order for the logical > interface to work... > > -- > > Larry Letterman > Network Engineer > Cisco Systems > > > ""Monu Sekhon"" wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > Hi All > > Hey I am facing a strange problem in frame-relay > > > > My config > > ---------- > > my initial config > > int serial 0 > > (nothing confgured initially) > > > > Then I cut paste this config and my link does not come up > means Interface > > does not come up. > > > > interface Serial0 > > shut (if i give here no shut then link comes up at one go) > > encapsulation frame-relay > > frame-relay lmi-type cisco > > exit > > interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point > > no shutdown > > ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 > > frame-relay interface-dlci 108 > > exit > > > > I have to do shut and no shut on main interface why ? > > > > if the above commands i execute one by one then the link > comes up. > > > > Is it a differnece between pasting the config at one go or > what when i give > > command single by single. > > I enable debugging for frame-relay packets and it shows > encap faiiled once > > only on the above sub interface.is anything frame-relay > lmis has anything > > to do. > > I am very confused. > > Thanx in advance > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=63482&t=63446 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
