Dialer "remote-name"

[kfarrington]

Hello,

I am trying to configure a 2600 to dialer another router on ISDN, the thing is, I put in the dialer interface the dialer remote-name <hostname>, but when it dials, when I do a show isdn hist, the is no dialer remote name entry.

What could this be?

Hi,

do you do use ppp chap/pap authentication, because if you don't use authentication

there will be no exchange of hostnames or ppp chap/pap usernames.

The command "dialer remote-name" is used to identify the correct dialer

interface for incomming calls.

The "dialer remote-name" is compared with the remote-name which comes with the ppp authentication process to identify the right dialer interface.

The remote-name in the "show isdn activ or history" is the name which comes from

the remote device in the authentication process (This should be the same as in the dialer remote-name but that is not necessarly the case) and not

the name in the "dialer remote-name".

Hello,

does my explanation solve the probelm or do you have still the same problem?

Configuration looks good, but must be similar on both sides.
