Hello Antonio,

have a look here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/dial/configuration/guide/dia_backup_serial_ps6350_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1001021

Note:

define interesting traffic carefully to avoid to pay high fees

don't use simple permit ip for the dialer list

Hope to help

Hello Antonio,

your Dialer1 interface should have an ip address: a backup link is still an IP link

it is not possible to route ip traffic over an interface where IP is disabled

in this context you can assign a private ip subnet to the DDR service and you can give static ip addresses to the two sites.

Hope to help

and make sure you set the admin distance of the static route to 200, otherwise everything will go across you dialer, causing a high telephone bill!

so ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer 1 200 (for instance)

Hi everybody

I add an IP address to the dialer interface.

But when I put the main serial down the dialing its not happennig :

Did you add the static route ?

Have you verifyed the ISDN switch type with the carrier ?

check with your provider about switch type which needs to configures on bri interface.

Thanks,

Hi Smot

Thanks for your help . I put the configuration you sugest but my BRI (End - B config ) its still no dialing whe the Serial goes down

Just to confirm , my switch type is net3

vmiller · ‎07-01-2009

sounds like your dial string isn't correct. Is this a local call ? which country

see the info on the stuff below, Its pretty helpful:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1/debug/command/reference/dbdipx.html#wp1017611

Here is a list of supported switch types, Ididn't see yours.

route2null · ‎07-01-2009

Can you actually make a call over the BRI? Forget the config for the moment and use an interactive command to test. Turn on debug q931 and term mon (Or log con) then issue this command...

isdn test call int b0/1/0 xxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx = the number you are trying to call.

View the debug output to confirm its even trying to call.

chinkevi_2 · ‎07-01-2009

hello,

i think you better first manually test the isdn service before test the backup function.

- under bri interface, you need ppp authentication too.

- you need to send chap username password in dialer interface.

- you need local user database to authenticate remote device.

your floating static would be better this way:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1 200

ip route 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.255 dialer1

also, please provide sh isdn service and debug isdn q931 when dialing. Preferably in attachment.

Afragoso2009 · ‎07-02-2009

Hi team

This is the result off my isdn call teste

chinkevi_2 · ‎07-02-2009

hello,

we need "sh isdn service" and full debug of "debug isdn q931" from start.

pompeychimes · ‎07-02-2009

You do have layer 1 and 2 right? Post the output from the "show isdn status" command please.
