Hi Jens, Thanks for the information. What confused me is this url: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/wan_c/wcdfrely.htm#46235
It states "The only visible indication to the user that LMI autosense is underway is when debug frame lmi is turned on. Every N391 interval, the user will now see three rapid status enquiries coming out of the serial interface. One in ANSI, one in ITU and one in cisco LMI-type. " It behaves differently from what i saw. when interface just becomes up/up, three status requests are sent, but after that, only one status request is sent, which doesn't match what is described above.
