What protocol does LINEPROTO-5 corespond to?

JJBladester

So, if I turn on debug ip routing and do the following:

Router(config)#int fa0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shutdown

I get a message:

%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up

Since this is a Fast Ethernet interface, I'm assuming LINEPROTO-5 refers to the Ethernet layer 2 MAC protocol. Correct?

Also, what could the other values for LINEPROTO-X be?

Thats a syslog message. The number represents the type of log message it is.

The number is the severity of the message.
