Re: which workbook are you using and why

i gotta focus on r&s until i've earned the right talk anymore :)

It is actually automatic on a frame-relay multipoint subinterface. The
interface goes down/down when all the remote dlci's go inactive. Here my
notes from a different lab but similar setup. i wasn't at home at the time
so i posted that query to gs...

R1, R3 and R5 connect via full mesh frame-relay, subnet 190.1.135.0/24. Only
R3 has the multipoint interface in this case. The others didn't matter
because I will be shutting those down.

R1 dlci 103 maps to R3 dlci 301
R1 dlci 105 maps to R5 dlci 501
R3 dlci 305 maps to R5 dlci 503

R3(config-if)#int s1/0.3 multipoint
R3(config-subif)# ip address 190.1.135.1 255.255.255.0
R3(config-subif)# frame-relay map ip 190.1.135.1 301 broadcast
R3(config-subif)# frame-relay map ip 190.1.135.5 305 broadcast
R3(config-subif)# no frame-relay inverse-arp

Bring up R5 and R1 again and now we have:

R3#show ip int brief s1/0.3
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Serial1/0.3 190.1.135.1 YES manual up up

Shut down R5 and R3 is still up but look at the debug frame-relay lmi. The
status of PVC 305 is 0x0 which is inactive.

R3#show ip int brief s1/0.3
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Serial1/0.3 190.1.135.1 YES manual up up

*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: Serial1/0(in): Status, myseq 115, pak size 45
*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: RT IE 1, length 1, type 0
*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: KA IE 3, length 2, yourseq 115, myseq 115
*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 301, status 0x2 , bw 0
*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 302, status 0x0 , bw 0
*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 304, status 0x2 , bw 0
*Mar 1 08:27:43.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 305, status 0x0 , bw 0

Now let's shut down R1 and take a look at R3 again, notice pvc 301 is now
status 0x0. and the interface is down/down on R3

*Mar 1 08:30:03.170: Serial1/0(in): Status, myseq 129, pak size 45
*Mar 1 08:30:03.170: RT IE 1, length 1, type 0
*Mar 1 08:30:03.170: KA IE 3, length 2, yourseq 129, myseq 129
*Mar 1 08:30:03.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 301, status 0x0 , bw 0
*Mar 1 08:30:03.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 302, status 0x0 , bw 0
*Mar 1 08:30:03.170: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 304, status 0x2 , bw 0
*Mar 1 08:30:03.174: PVC IE 0x7 , length 0x6 , dlci 305, status 0x0 , bw 0

R3#show ip int brief s1/0.3
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Serial1/0.3 190.1.135.1 YES manual down down

What was driving me crazy was i couldn't get the above behavior to work (on
a different lab). I had removed the maps from subinterface for some reason
hoping to get it go down/down but that didnt work. anyways, hope that helps.
if i am missing something, please let me know
