[Xorp-users] Fwd: underlying vif is not UP

[Venketesan]

I had the problem (in 1.2), basically the NIC needs to be connected to 
a switch i.e. it shud have some connection.
Thanks,
Venkat

I'll check that Pavlin and tell you the feed back
I have a question about what you mentioned about "underlying interface is
really UP". Do you mean being ENABLED? If so, It is enabled. But I can't
find the UP remark anywhere??
I'll check if the interface has a previous configured IP and tell you back.

Hilal
