Leased Line Problems and Suggested Actions
Line State
Possible Cause
Serial x is down,
The router is not sensing a carrier detect (CD) signal due
line protocol is down.
to one of the following reasons:
• Telephone company problem, such as the line is down
• Faulty or incorrect cabling of the router.
• Local DSU/CSU hardware failure.
• Local router hardware failure.
Serial x is up,
Possible causes for this line state are
line protocol is down.
• Local or remote router misconfigured.
• The remote router is not sending keepalive packets.
• Problem with the leased line.
• The serial clock transmit external is not set on the
• Local or remote DSU/CSU hardware failure.
• Router hardware failure.

If you see the message shown in the example command output, continue configuration by
re-entering global configuration mode.
If you see one of the following messages instead of the one shown in the example
command output, refer to the "Troubleshooting Leased Line Problems" section for
possible causes of the message and suggested actions:
•
Serial x is down, line protocol is down.
•
Serial x is up, line protocol is down.
•
Serial x is up, line protocol is up (looped).
•
Serial x is administratively down, line protocol is up.

Suggested Actions
Following are some steps you can take to isolate the
problem:
• Check the LEDs on the external DSU/CSU for CD
activity.
• Refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Hardware Installation
Guide to confirm that your router is correctly installed
using the correct cables.
• Contact the telephone company.
• Connect the leased line to another port, if possible. If
the connection come up, there is a hardware failure.
Contact your Cisco reseller.
Following are some steps you can take to isolate the
problem:
• Perform DSU/CSU loopback tests. During local
loopback, enter the show interface ser0 command. If
the line protocol is shown as up, there might be a
problem with the telephone company, or the remote
router is down.
• Refer to the Cisco 1700 Router Hardware Installation
Guide to confirm that your router is correctly installed
using the correct cables.
• Connect the leased line to another port, if possible. If
the connection come up, there is a hardware failure.
