dialer hold-queue problems

l.cicero
Level 1
Level 1

We have a isdn connection to another side. the application sends packets and the router will drop the first 3 or 4 packets untill the isdn connection has established.

The command to tell the router it should not drop the first packets is: dialer hold-queue [number of packet].

Here is the router configuration: (Cisco 1721, IOS 12.3.1a)

!

interface BRI0

description Verbidnung zu ISP - IBM

ip address negotiated

ip nat outside

encapsulation ppp

no ip route-cache

dialer idle-timeout 30

dialer string 0840840750

dialer hold-queue 100

dialer-group 1

no peer default ip address

isdn switch-type basic-net3

isdn calling-number 0522143178

no keepalive

no fair-queue

no cdp enable

ppp authentication chap callin

ppp chap hostname [hostname]

ppp chap password [password]

ppp pap sent-username [username] password [password]

!

Could you help me?

thx

See if setting up a timeout with hold-queue helps :

c2600(config-if)#dialer hold-queue 12 ?

timeout Specify length of time data is held while interface is connecting

By default, this timeout is 40 seconds so if your ISDN and PPP is taking longer than that, you should definitely set it longer.

You could try this one both the dialer and dialed router.

============================================

the router will drop the first 3 or 4 packets untill the isdn connection has established.

the isdn connection will be established in 4-5 seconds.

the customer has tested the same connection with a

3 Com Router --> the result was positive! the router has forwarded all packets correct..

do you have any other idea?? is there a ios problem?

thx

luigi

I am assuming this router rtp2p-multi is the dialing side which has the client application? It would be nice to see the config from the dialed/server side (if thats a Cisco router) . Did you try increasing the hold-q size from 12 to a larger value like 30 or 40?

~Zulfi

Yes, the rtp2p router is the dialing side...

we have increased the hold-q to 60.

The problem is still there - the same.

The ios of the router is:c1700-y-mz.123-1a (IP)

do you think that this can be a problem?

I did a quick bug search but did not find anything matching, but could still very well be an IOS issue. If its not too difficult for you, go ahead for the IOS upgrade. If that does not fix it, I would suggest opening up a TAC case.
