RE: HSRP tracking of Frame ciruits

I must admit I haven't tested it on a point to point so I'll have a look a
this. I'll also have another dig around Caslow.

You say though a p-p subint. uses dlci status to track up/down status -
remember though that dlci status is a function of lmi - lmi is responsible
for keepalive AND dlci status reporting (ACTIVE/INACTIVE/DELETED).

I'll be very interested to learn if line protocol goes down when dlci is
inactive/deleted on p-p subint.

I'll try it out.

Anybody else had any experiences with this ?

Cheers,

Mark
