BRI and Serial link are up at the same time

[sirajmuneer]

Hello,

Got a question about BRI interface

Is there any way to disable BRI interface manually when primary link is up?

I had a situation where both BRI and Serial link were up and running

i reset the primary BRI0/1/0 and now BRI sub-interfaces are showing down..but still primary bri int showing up up (spoofing).

what does spoofing means?

RouterA(config-if)#do sh int BRI0/1/0

BRI0/1/0 is up, line protocol is up (spoofing) >>>>>>>>>>>

Really appreaciate anyone's explanation.

Thanks in advance

To begin with the last question: The status as observed is in fact normal behaviour.

Spoofing is in other words "faked up". An interface that's inactive normally goes down which also causes all routes running over it to be dropped from the routing table. This status was implemented to allow dialers to keep their static routes also when the dialer was inactive. Check with the command "show dialer" to see if there is any undesired calling action.

Use an access-list to allow traffic to activate the dialer.
