Hi,

Protocol down, usually means you have some sort of layer-2 issue like protocol mismatch.

For example, if you are running PPP on one side of the link and HDLC on the other side, you will see protocol down.

So, check for mismatch on both sides of the link.

use "sh int serial x/x/x"

sorry for the long post

Hi,

From below config, can you change the clock rate from 64000 to 2000000 and test again?

clock rate 2000000

interface Serial0/0/1

bandwidth 64

ip address 172.57.1.214 255.255.255.252

encapsulation ppp

ppp authentication chap

ip nat inside

clock rate 64000

Also, remember that DCE site should have the clock rate command not the DTE side.

Hi,

You're using PPP chap authentication but I don't see any usernames specified in your configuration.

Have you omitted these for the post?

Thanks,

I did what you suggested but it's the same, I wanna ask what is the problem if the LCP is closed

Serial0/0/1 is up, line protocol is down (disabled)

  Hardware is HD64570

  Internet address is 172.57.1.218/30

  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,

     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

  Encapsulation PPP, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)

  LCP Closed

  Closed: LEXCP, BRIDGECP, IPCP, CCP, CDPCP, LLC2, BACP

  Last input never, output never, output hang never

  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never

  Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0

  Queueing strategy: weighted fair

  Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)

     Conversations  0/0/256 (active/max active/max total)

     Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)

     Available Bandwidth 1158 kilobits/sec

  5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

  5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

     0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer

     Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort

     0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns

     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets

     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

     0 carrier transitions

     DCD=up  DSR=up  DTR=up  RTS=up  CTS=up

On both routers, can you apply below configs and see if the interface goes to up and up mode?

basically you are deleting the authentication commands.

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 172.57.1.213 255.255.255.252

encapsulation ppp

interface Serial0/0/1

ip address 172.57.1.214 255.255.255.252

encapsulation ppp

clock rate 64000

HTH

I believe that Reza is on the right track asking about clock setting and which router is really the DCE? Perhaps the original poster can give us the output of show controller serial from both routers.

It might also be helpful if the original poster could give us details on the serial card being used and about the physical connection between the routers.
