I have seen that in many customer's networks and it is usually normal.
The demand poll is only reporting the fact, not an error. It is looking for
un-numbered interfaces that are connected to other nodes, and if it
finds both ends of such a connection, it will make special interface card
symbols on the two devices and then connect them. But it often finds
many entries in the interface table that do not have addresses.

Cordially,

Dear all,
  I make a demand poll for a router and I found that there were some
messages like "Interface BRI0/0 does not have an IP address". Why and how
such situation would happen? Please help me to clarify, thank you very
much....
