That error message means A serial interface has been configured or changed with an unknown encapsulation type.

So the question is what image version you have on what router platform and what encapsulation you re trying to configure or change to.

The IOS version i am using is

12.2.12 (c5300-i-mz.122-12.bin) and i am using Micaware 2.7.30 (mica-modem-pw.2.7.3.0.bin)

The config of the serial interfaces is

interface Serial0:15

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

no logging event link-status

keepalive 60

timeout absolute 360 0

dialer rotary-group 1

no snmp trap link-status

isdn switch-type primary-net5

isdn incoming-voice modem

no fair-queue

no cdp enable

ppp ipcp ignore-map

!

in my opinion there is nothing special but i hope you see something fishy.

config looks fine. So we need to know now for which interface that it reports that error message.

So if you have full error message pl. post it here.

Here are full messages from the syslog file.

I hope you know what it means.

Good luck and many thanks,

Martijn
