for dial out, you need a dial string added to it. For dial in on the other channel, there is no special config needed.
int bri 0/0
encapsulation ppp - optional
ip add <
dialer string ----for dialout
dialer-group 1---- needed for Layer 3 protocols
isdn spid1 -- optional
isdn spid2 -- optional
config)#dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
I have provided a sample output. R2, R3, R4 are 3 routers. with one BRI port on each.
R2 has phone numbers 2001 and 2002 on each channel.
R3 has phone numbers 3001 and 3002 on each channel.
R4 has phone numbers 4001 and 4002 on each channel.
R2 has the sample config that i have mentioned above.
R3 calls R2 on 2001, while R2 calls R4 on 4001. Here is the output of the active isdn calls.
R2#sh isdn active
