Hi!
Is there a possibility in ios to set a max for call-failures and call duration?
I`m using Dialer-Profiles & Dialer-Maps for ISDN Out-of-Band management (cisco 1712 via Bri) to other cisco isdn sites.
Problem: If there is any kind of problem at the remote site and for instance a permanent ping to this site causes hundrets of (failed) isdn calls, this could be very expensive...
Is there any kind of possibility in ios to set a "max call attempts" command for outgoing calls and to restrict a successful established connection to a "max duration connection time"?
Best regards,
Stefan.

There are a couple of things you can do.
For the max number of calls you can set the dialer to something like this
Router (config-if)#dialer max-call # <-- this will specify max number of calls
You can set idle timers too
Router (config-if)#dialer idle-timeout # <-- this will specify the idle timeout before disconnecting the call

Hi engagerocks!
In our case it is not so important how much "max calls" at the same time are established.
-> Important is to restrict the unwanted call attempts/failures and max duration to prohibit unnessesary costs...
"dialer idle-timeout" are still configured but this will not force disconnection until the client stops its permanent ping..
The following command partial helps at "layer 2".
router(config-if)#dialer redial interval 5 attempts 5 re-enable 5
But If for example the ppp authentication (pap chap) fails, this command is also noneffective, because the dial-attempt was successfull and the redail command starts counting from scratch...
Problem:
MS-Client pings to another location via ISDN, permanent: e.g. c:\ ping 193.99.144.56 -t
How to stop this (client) / Dial-out Router from trying to dialin-out again and again if the remote router is not available/authentication fails/other issues?
How to force disconnection, if the call is established successfully but ony e.g. max 30 minutes are designated?
Thanks a lot in advance!
