Hi Dustin,
It doesn't matter whether you configure End to End keep alive. The physical
interface will never go down unless it lose communition with the switch. So
even if you have all DLCI status to down, that interface still in the
upstate.
Below is my test lab
R4 - R5 over Frame-relay and ISDN backup.
Rack1R4#show run int s0/0
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 592 bytes
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 176.1.145.4 255.255.255.0
encapsulation frame-relay
backup interface bri0/0
ip ospf hello-interval 2
ip ospf priority 0
no fair-queue
frame-relay map ip 176.1.145.5 405 broadcast
frame-relay interface-dlci 405
class DLCI-405
no frame-relay inverse-arp
Rack1R4#show frame pvc | i INTERFACE
DLCI = 405, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = Serial0/0
Rack1R4#show backup
Primary Interface Secondary Interface Status
----------------- ------------------- ------
Serial0/0 BRI0/0 normal operation
Now add the EEK
Rack1R4#show run map-class
Building configuration...
Current configuration:
!
map-class frame-relay DLCI-405
frame-relay end-to-end keepalive mode request
End
I purpsosely not configuring the EEK on R5 so the status of the DLCI should
be down
Rack1R4#show frame pvc 405 | i STATUS
DLCI = 405, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE (EEK DOWN), INTERFACE =
Serial0/0
The bri0/0 still in standby mode and the physical still up
Rack1R4#show backup
Primary Interface Secondary Interface Status
----------------- ------------------- ------
Serial0/0 BRI0/0 normal operation
Rack1R4#show int s0/0 | i line protocol
Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is up
So I guess the backup interface on the physical command is not really useful
in the real world and the lab may tricked you with it.
Hope this helps.

So if you have backup interface configure under the physicall frame
interface, it's a better idea to configure end-to-end keepalive?
