When you are entering the &quot;no shutdown&quot; command, are you doing it from Priv Exec mode &quot;Router#&quot; or from the Interface Config Mode &quot;Router(config-int)#&quot;<br>
<br>
You need to be in the latter mode (conf t, int e0 will get you there) you have to start them up individually.<br>
<br>
The reason I ask that is because of the way you said you entered &quot;Router# no shutdown&quot; says to me you might be trying to do it from Priv Exec rather than Interface Config.<br>
<br>
Now, if you are doing it for each router in the correct location and it's still coming up as admin down, are you saving the running-config to startup-config? after you No shutdown?<br>
<br>
Here is what you should be doing:<br>
<br>
Router&gt;enable<br>
Router#conf t<br>
Router(config)#int e0<br>
Router(config-int)#no shutdown<br>
Router(config-int)#exit<br>
Router(config)#int s0<br>
Router(config-int)#no shutdown<br>
Router(config-int)#exit<br>
Router(config)#int s1<br>
Router(config-int)#no shutdown<br>
Router(config-int)#&lt;Ctrl-Z&gt;<br>
Router#copy run start<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
