sanity check frame question

  • From: Brennan_Murphy

I have a Frame connection between two sites, A and B. If the router
crashes at B, wouldn't A still see the DLCI for
B?  Is there any scenario where this wouldn't be the case?  If
B gets blown off the map, shouldnt A's frame interface be
in at least an up/down scenario?

The only reason I ask is because AT&T has been working on a
17hr outage like this and they are focusing on the CO at site B. When I
asked them how clearing up a CO issue would make the DLCI
reaappear at site A, they didn't have a straight answer.  

In my particular case, the remote site B actually has a PVC to
A and C and both of those are in a down/down....these are
subinterfaces on DS3's with tons of other sites working properly.

If the DLCI disappeared, doesn't that suggest that someone
deleted the PVC?

Any insights would be helpful....

Thanks,

PS It would be reasonable to interpret this *partially* as a rant.
I'd really like to confirm the PVC vs CO scope of the problem
though.
