I have issued the "no shut" command a number of times but still i am getting the same problem.. You can see it for yourself in the attchement..

Hello Vishal,

now is different the serial interface is down/down

before it was admin down/down.

A serial interface to be up/up needs to be connected to some device that makes leads to be up:

at the end of the show you see:

DCD down carrier

DSR down

CTS down

these are from L1 DCE

DTR and RTS are from the router serial interface

see the following from a router in production

sh int ser4/2

Serial4/2 is up, line protocol is up

[...]

446 carrier transitions DCD=up DSR=up DTR=up RTS=up CTS=up

if you are connecting two routers in back-to-back one has to provide clock:

use

clock rate 2000000

Hope to help

by default all ports are disabled.

you must go under the port and use the command "no shutdown"

then the port will be activated.
