Layer 2, Data Link.
The message is something like "Serial 0/0 is up, line protocol is down". The first part refers to the physical connection (layer 1 of the OSI model), which works in this case; the second part refers to layer 2 of the OSI model (the serial networking protocol, like HDLC or PPP), which in this example doesn't work for some reason.
It is forms part of the Point-to-Point Protocol. In setting up PPP communications, both the sending and receiving devices send out LCP packets to determine the standards of the ensuing data transmission. LCP is logically a Transport Layer protocol according to the OSI model,

Frame relay and PPP is used with WAN encapsulation. Frame Relay most closely compares to the OSI data link layer (Layer 2). If you remember that the word "frame" describes the data link layer protocol data unit (PDU), it will be easy to remember that Frame Relay relates to OSI Layer 2. Like other data-link protocols, Frame Relay can be used to deliver packets (Layer 3 PDUs) between routers.
Network control protocol
LCP sets up the PPP connection and its parameters. NCP handles higher layer protocol configurations.
Network Control Protocol is uses to identify the Network layer protocol used in the packet
error control and recovery flow control ppp(point to point protocol transfering from physical layer to network entities
there may be the issue with the layer 2 protocol like hdlc or ppp is not configured or wrongly configured if the interface is serial interface.

Internet (PPP) Accounts A PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) account is an Internet account that uses the PPP communications protocol. PPP is the most popular type of Internet account because the most popular software--Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Outlook Express, Eudora, and other programs--is designed to work with PPP accounts. Occasionally, you may run into a SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) or CSLIP account (Compressed SLIP), which are old, less-reliable protocols than PPP, but which work the same way. This book refers to PPP, CSLIP, and SLIP accounts as dial-up Internet accounts. An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organization that provides Internet accounts, usually PPP accounts, but occasionally UNIX shell accounts. All ISPs provide dial-in accounts using regular phone lines, and many also provide ISDN and DSL connections
