Author serial X is down/up?

if an ip address/subnet mask is incorrect on a serial interface on one router,
what would a 'show interface s0' be on a second router connected to the above mentioned router?

i think serial is up,line is up?

as the line is datalink and independant of the network address?

I agree with John, that it would show
up and up. There is not a problem with the physical line and also no problem with the protocol. But there is a major layer 3 problem. Sooooo ping would definitely fail.

Test is a check it out.

ok so if I shut down one interface
would the interface connected to it go from

serial x up line protocol is up

to

serial x is up line protocol is down

or

serial x is down line protocol is down.

I guess my question could be put like this:
two interfaces, if you shut one down would the shut down interface still send a cd (carrier detect) to the other interface,even though its not sending 'keepalives'.

It's not really possible to have an down/up interface, since there's no way for keep alives to arrive on a line if there is no carrier on the line. One router does not send CD to the other. That's just a function of the line.
