There's obviously no good answer to why there are no problems bringing the link up/up when you type in the commands one by one but there are problems when you copy and paste them. Here are some suggestions, though:
1) You work for Cisco. Report it as a bug. 2) The copy and paste is corrupting a character, forgetting to do carriage return or something of that nature. Do all the commands end up the in the running config? 3) There's some sort of timing issue. To fix the problem: Don't do copy and paste that fast. :-) Priscilla Monu Sekhon wrote: > > Hi Mark, > Thanx for reply.but I mentioned that when we do shut & no shut > again link comes up.no dlci, no lmi problem: > I am testing in lab setup two rouetrs connnected to frame-relay > cloud > Please do help anybody in this regard, why the link doesnot > come at one instant > why it requiers again shut and no shut, when i copy paste the > config and when i give command by command then without gving > shut and noshut the link comes up. > > Mark W.
