Ahmed,
        First put an IP on each of the interfaces with no other
configurations. Then attempt to do loops on each of the interfaces to
see if you can get a loop to come up. If you loop it so loopback dte
under the interface configuration you should see the interface come up
as up up (looped). If you are able to do this it will help in narrowing
down the problem. If you are unable to see it come up test another
interface some of the older interfaces do not support loops even though
it may take the command.

Subject: Layer 2 problem !!!

Do you guys see any problem with the below output. R2 and R3 are
connected
back to back. DCE end is attached to R2 and configured with clock rate
64000,
however I can't bring the layer 2 up. R3 keep flapping its interface up
and
down every 30-40 seconds. What is the easiest way to findout whethere
there
is a problem with the serial port itself or a problem with a cable.

Regards,

Ahmed
