Interface status will be UP DOWM

That is, Serial will be 'up' but line protocol will be 'down'.

Please rate all helpful post

if you issue command "show interface serial 0/0/0" you can find the status on the very 1st line as "Serial0/0/1 is up, line protocol is down"

if both routers are up then "Serial0/0/1 is up, line protocol is up"

Hi Anand,

Thanks ur early reply all

The line protocol would be down it's ok, and the interface would be down. The first part of the result will indicate whether the interface hardware is active r not am i right.

Now if I put it administratively down which is going to connect Router-B now what will be.

you will get the message like this..........

"Serial 0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down"

Hi, ilnaiduccna

If these routers are connected directly by a back-to-back DTE-DCE cable (just like we do in the lab), when you shotdown the interface in one end, the other end will goto down/down state because it cannot detect DCD carrier and layer2 keepalive message form the other end.

If these routers are connected by a pairs of DSU/CSUs (like in the real life senario), shutting down the interface in one end will cause the other end goto up/down state because it will not receive layer2 keepalive from the other end, but it still can receive the DCD signal from CSU/DSU.
