Line protocol is up means that the interface is hearing keepalives every 10 seconds ( line 10). Obviously if layer 1 is down then laer 2 will be down as well.. Layer 1 down - no physical connection or connectied to a dead circuit; or the interface on the other end is in a shutdown state Layer 1 shutdown locally = administratively down Layer 2 down because of layer 1 down; no DCE on a serial link, 2 DCE’s; clockrate not set, or incompatible Shows mostly layer 3 info + ‘Routing’ (RIP) Stuff plus layer 3 routed access-list Router#show ip interface ethernet 0 Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is up Internet address is 172.16.1.1/24 Broadcast address is 255.255.255.255 Address determined by setup command MTU is 1500 bytes Helper address is not set Directed broadcast forwarding is enabled Multicast reserved groups joined: 224.0.0.9 Outgoing access list is not set Inbound access list is not set Proxy ARP is enabled Security level is default Split horizon is enabled ICMP redirects are always sent ICMP unreachables are always sent ICMP mask replies are never sent IP fast switching is enabled IP fast switching on the same interface is disabled IP multicast fast switching is enabled Router Discovery is disabled IP output packet accounting is disabled IP access violation accounting is disabled TCP/IP header compression is disabled RTP/IP header compression is disabled Probe proxy name replies are disabled Gateway Discovery is disabled Policy routing is disabled Network address translation is disabled Again, layer 3 stuff & IPX RIP ‘routing’ stuff Router#show ipx interface ethernet 0 Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is up IPX address is ABAD1234.00d0.58ad.1c39, NOVELL-ETHER [up] Delay of this IPX network, in ticks is 1 throughput 0 link delay 0 IPXWAN processing not enabled on this interface.
