Author Can't find answer in book
Bullfrog

2002-07-08, 12:56 pm

I took the test a couple of weeks ago and missed by a couple of questions. One question still eludes me and I can't find the answer in my book.(used the Wendell Odom Cert guide Book)The question went something like this.
The following is a partial representation of the result obtained when entering the show interface serial command: Router# show int s 1
Serial is up, line protocol is down
How would you interpret this status printout?
Is this administratively shut down? What can cause this.
Thanks

i don't have the latest odom's book so can't look for info there.

go to above link

check *troubleshooting serial line*

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td...g_v1/tr1915.htm

check *troubleshooting ethernet*

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td...g_v1/tr1904.htm

and others, I didn't go thru them all, just went thru these 2 real quick to confirm it has relevant information.

for example, on ether scroll to bottom of page, you should get a quick 1 liner in a table. serial is more indepth, read it for sure. after looking over these 2, look over others. compare, apply what you 've learn and you will have your answer and more.

edit: heh re-read your question, so definitely read the serial one. again, here is the link http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td...g_v1/tr1915.htm

Keep alive issue or other protocol configuration, is most likely what at hand here.

Administratively down 'shows' as administratively down.

down (disabled) is a hardware issue.

Bullfrog this sounds like a remote physical layer problem.

line protocol is down -> got to do with encapsulation.

Serial link up / Line protocol Down

means that there is no traffic in the other end therfore no protocol..

If you have serial link down and line protocal down that is an adminstratedly shutdown serial interface.

If you have serial up and line down it means you have a remote problem.

Makan007 is right.

I have not come across serial down and line protocal up, this wouldn't make any sense.

I forget where I saw this info, I have been studying alot for this exam, I have used Todd Lammel and Element K online studying.

I right my exam tommorrow, so I guess we'll find out if I did my homework.

Anyways this is the best I can do, I have to get back to the books. Good Luck.

If you unplug the cable from the router, you will get a protocol down message when you run a command like "sh ip int bri"...

You're welcome. BTW you will also get that error is you use a crossover cable as opposed to a straight through cable

When the protocol down u need to look at subnet mask, clock rate, routed and encapsulation those what cause the protocol to be down.
if you have the CBT you'll seea chart explain all that.

Well I wrote my exam today and passed, it's pretty straight forward just look at it from a logical point there is definetly a system like all others, so don't pay any attention to the doom and gloom poeple.

Remember;
-subnetting
-commands
-protocals
-ios
-igrp and rip are the main focus.

Good luck to you all and remeber there are no short cuts.

Just playfully being a smart alec...

Congrats on the pass!!!

Hey Freak what is it exactly that you do?

Make sure when you read the question!!!!!

It could be either an encapsulation problem in the interface or some keepalives problems!!!!!

Excellent!

In your opinion what is the best desaster recovery certification or a course that covers this area?

<Serial0 is up, line protocol is down>

As was stated before this could mean you are having a keepalive issue. You need to:Check the keepalives and encapsulation at both ends and make sure they match, also set the clock rate if needed

For more about this topic check out Todd Lammle's CCNA Study Guide Chapter 4

Good Luck!

When they gave you the question on the CCNA exam you can't check both ends??????

The original question is:

Router A is connected to Router B, a non-cisco router.You`re given a diagram, and then it says, using the command output shown
what must be configured on router A`s s0 to change the line protocol from down to up?

A.no shutdown
B.encapsulation ppp
C.interface serial point-to-point
D.clock rate 56000


Answer is B.

Explanation: for the line to come up, encap ppp must be enabled.

A.interface has already been enabled
c.interface has been created already
d.only sets the clockrate

Send me your e-mail address, I`ve got something for you.

Blessed is he who gives.
