RE: FR-EEK on interface and subinterface

Hi Edison,
during my testing I have noticed that a subinterface, multi or
point2point, doesn't go down by itself if something is broken in the FR
cloud but the frame-relay pvc remains active.
I have simulated this situation on the FR switch by removing the route
statements on the interfaces and replacing them with local dlci. This
way the pvc remains active on the DTE device but of course communication
is broken between the 2 DTEs. In this case the subinterface goes down
when FREEK detects the failure; but only if FREEK is configured.
I also noticed that as soon as I restore the config on the FR switch,
first FREEK comes up and immediately after also the subinterface.
Thanks,
Bit
