Not if you are using Simulator.

If you are using sim, then both layers 1&2 will be deactivated as shown:

r5#sh isdn stat
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
ISDN BRI0 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
    Layer 1 Status:
        DEACTIVATED
    Layer 2 Status:
        Layer 2 NOT Activated
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
    Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
    The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003
    Number of L2 Discards = 0, L2 Session ID = 9
    Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0

Cheers
Ya

yes and no to your answer layer 1 will be deactivated but layer 2 should
have TEI assigned (get TEI's from local telco).....

Details to Help

If you do show interface on the bri you will see the interface in standby
mode. On a DDR/FSR you will see layer 1 activated and layer 2 muliframe
established.

See examples from a real live network not simulated:

DBU:
sh int bri0
BRI0 is standby mode, line protocol is down
  Hardware is BRI

sh isdn stat
The current ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni1
ISDN BRI0 interface
    Layer 1 Status:
        DEACTIVATED
    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 112, State = TEI_ASSIGNED
        TEI = 65, State = TEI_ASSIGNED
    Spid Status:
        TEI 112, ces = 1, state = 5(init)
            spid1 configured, spid1 sent, spid1 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 0, tid = 1
        TEI 65, ces = 2, state = 5(init)
            spid2 configured, spid2 sent, spid2 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 1, tid = 1
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)

DDR/FSR:

sh int bri0/0
BRI0/0 is up, line protocol is up (spoofing)
  Hardware is PQUICC BRI with U interface

sh isdn stat
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
ISDN BRI0/0 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
    Layer 1 Status:
        ACTIVE
    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 104, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
        TEI = 113, Ces = 2, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
        TEI 104, ces = 1, state = 8(established)
            spid1 configured, no LDN, spid1 sent, spid1 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 0, tid = 1
        TEI 113, ces = 2, state = 8(established)
            spid2 configured, no LDN, spid2 sent, spid2 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 1, tid = 1
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)

BUT to complicate things more when you are working with international
telco's you can see even with FSR/DDR you will see (sh isdn stat) layer 1
deactivated also....So be aware........

Subject: ISDN backup interface

Is it normal that my BRi interface (calling side) shows the following status
when i use it as backup (before the primary interface goes down):

r5#sh isdn stat
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
ISDN BRI0 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
    Layer 1 Status:
        DEACTIVATED
    Layer 2 Status:
        Layer 2 NOT Activated
        TEI Not Assigned, ces = 1, state = 1(terminal down)
            spid1 configured, spid1 NOT sent, spid1 NOT valid
        TEI Not Assigned, ces = 2, state = 5(init)
            spid2 configured, spid2 NOT sent, spid2 NOT valid
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
    Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
    The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003
    Number of L2 Discards = 0, L2 Session ID = 72

The BRi on the other side (called side) show the following output:

r3#sh isdn stat
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
ISDN BRI0 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
    Layer 1 Status:
        ACTIVE
    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 116, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
        TEI = 117, Ces = 2, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
        TEI 116, ces = 1, state = 5(init)
            spid1 configured, spid1 sent, spid1 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 2, tid = 1
        TEI 117, ces = 2, state = 5(init)
            spid2 configured, spid2 sent, spid2 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 4, tid = 1
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
    Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
    The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003
    Number of L2 Discards = 0, L2 Session ID = 45

The calling side comes up and dials when i pull the cable from the primary
interface.

Also, are we allowed to pull the cable in the lab as this is the only way to
test it. Shutdown on the primary interface is not a good way as far as i
know

Thanks
