yesm both end must be connected, but: Ethernet also has a link light showing as soon as both ends are connected. There should be an LED on each NIC which lights up as soon as noth ends are connected. The ethernet link layer LED works in the same way. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

The only way to bring it to up/up if other side is also connected along with the encapuslation and other parameters. It is different then Ethernet where the physical port will go up as soon as the cable is detected.

HDLC is the default, and requires cable attached in order for the router to show "up". There is no way to simulate as far as I am aware. Having said that, someone will prove me wrong no doubt. -Anil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom E Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 11:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: serial up/up w/o cable [7:27604] How can you get a serial interface to go up/up without a cable connected? I have tried loop and no keep.
