Do you mean the serial interface? 

Corss over cable is for ethernet interface. Serial interface should serial cable 

 Yes, using crossover cable but it is still down.

And you are connecting the Router to what device?

did you try straigh forward cable?

Interconnected cisco 4431/Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.06.05, and cisco 4331/Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.09.05.

You dont need cross over cable, you can use normal cable.

using a normal cable.

Thanks for your help

 

@leyakhath muhammed has 2 posts about this. In the other discussion 2 important points were made:

1) if connecting router serial ports back to back then one device must provide clocking. In the posted config both devices try to get clock from the network. So one of the configs must be changed to provide clock.

2) when connecting serial ports back to back you do need a special "serial crossover" cable.

If both of these points are addressed it should allow the connection to work.
