Hi Jane,
just 2 days before I was observing our ISDN-BackupInterfaces on NV7.1.
The IF got the + in the seedfile and are known as isISDNbackup.
But they do not change any status when the line goes active - they keep on
Status_user2!
(exactly: Admin Down, Admin Status up, Oper Status dormant).
I testet on Cisco IOS 11 and 12.
Do you have an Idea?
Kind regards,
Martina
