With the physical interface its based on LMI by default for Frame Relay.
On the subinterface its based on the physical interface being up of
course, the status of the DLCI/DLCI's applied to the subinterface, and
also end-to-end keepalives if configured. If the subinterface is
multipoint then all of the DLCI's configured under the subinterface will
need to have their DLCI status change before the router brings down the
subinterface.

Hi Group,

Quick question - if anyone can confirm that the follwoing is true:

1. Physical frame-relay interface - interface stays up as long as we
receive LMI from the switch. If the PVC is broken in the FR service
provider, the interface won't come up.

2. Subinterfaces (both p2p, multipoint) - if the PVC is broken in the
FR service provider, the interface will come down.

I'm just not sure that point two works for both p2p and multipoint
interfaces.

Thanks!
Rado
