RE: Fame Relay DLCI INACTIVE / Interface down down

You have a physical layer problem. If you do show interface S3/0 you will
see "Line is down, line protocol is down". Until you get this fixed,
nothing else will work.

Few things to check:

*Are you sure the Frame Relay switch is configured correct?
*Are you sure the interface on the FR switch is not shutdown?
*Check the cable?

I teach my students to think in terms of the OSI reference model. If the
physical layer is down, i.e. "Line is down" then nothing at layer two will
work. You posted a bunch of frame-relay show commands which leads me to
believe you do not understand this concept. Frame-relay is at layer two,
which will not work if layer one is down.

First get layer one working by checking the things I have listed above.
Send us another post if you are still having issues, and we can help with
layer two.

Take care,

Subject: Fame Relay DLCI INACTIVE / Interface down down

Hi All,

Can someone verify this config for me, I just added a frame relay switch
to my lab, and can't get frame working on one of the interfaces up.

I also tried moving to dif slots on the FRSW, used dif cables and with
dif routers, still doesn't work.

All suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
