1721 ISDN Problems

ieuanr
Level 1
Level 1

We have two 1721 routers connected via dial on demand ISDN.

The routers will connect and route with no problems on one channel. Whenever the second channel tries to come up both channels are dropped.

Sometimes one channel will drop and re-establish the connection.

Debug q931 shows several different ISDN cause codes such as Temporary Fault, Circuit not available, No user response.

The ISDN lines have been checked and show no problems.

Another manufacturers routers work both channels with no problems.

Thank you for any assistance!

Hello,

can you post your config, your IOS version (it might be a software bug), and the output of the debug q931 command ?

Regards,

This is the config of the remote router the host is identical apart from different tel numbers and usernames etc.

Thanks for the quick response!

Will dig out the q931 output later if you need it.

Many thanks

Hello,

if you post your IOS version I will check the software bug navigator. Also, try to post the output of:

debug dialer

debug isdn q931

debug ppp negotiation

Meanwhile, there might be some useful information in this document:
