The virtual template interface is just that, a template. That is where the
virtual access interface gets it configuration. The virtual access
interface is your active interface, not the virtual template. That is why
the virtual template shows down/down.

I hope that makes sense.

Hi Team,

I have been playing with PPPoFR today. One thing that stumped me though is
that even though Virtual-Access interface is "up up", the "Virtual-Template"
interfaces stay as "down down", even though I can still ping the other side
over the PPPoFR link.

R1 ---- R2

Is that normal?

At R1:-

frame-relay switching

interface Virtual-Template1
 bandwidth 128
 ip address 172.150.2.1 255.255.255.0
 ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 25
!
interface Serial0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clockrate 125000
 frame-relay lmi-type cisco
 frame-relay intf-type dce
!
interface Serial0.1 point-to-point
 frame-relay interface-dlci 16 ppp Virtual-Template1

And as for R2:-

interface Virtual-Template1
 bandwidth 128
 ip address 172.150.2.2 255.255.255.0
 ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 100 25

interface Serial1
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay lmi-type cisco
!
interface Serial1.1 point-to-point
 frame-relay interface-dlci 16 ppp Virtual-Template1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Hunt
