hi sagar,

the output shows there is frequent changes in layer 2 status of isdn

if you put sh isdn status command it will

show your isdn layer 2 status along with layer1&3

two options available in layer 2

multiframe estabilsed -means circuit is up till telco (your service provider)

tei_unassigned - means probelm connecting to your telco (your service provider)

to disable log use

no logging buffered command

rgds

shiva

rate it if it helps

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for your info... Actually, my isdn is a backup for a dedicated link which is currently up but still I am seeing these messages... Any idea, what could be this issue,...

The logs indicate that the ISDN is coming up at various time intervals and is staying up for 10 seconds. It looks to me like something is making calls on the ISDN that last 10 seconds. If you run debug dialer through several of these occurances and post the output it might show us what is causing the ISDN to activate. It might also be helpful to see the output of debug isdn q931.

Hi Sagar ,

Would like to know that whether the isdn is active link or standby link .

Can you send us the config of both the routers.

Can you send us "show isdn active" , show isdn status and show isdn his outputs.

Thanks,

satish

Also, to inform you, the ISDN is a backup for a serial link and it will get fired when the primary link goes down..

Hi Sagar ,

Every thing looks fine..Below is the config of isan , which is backup for serial link.Please check it step by step and let me know if you miss something.

Router A:

username admin password cisco

Interface s0

ip add x.x.x.x

back delay 5 120

backup interface bri0

interface BRI0

bandwidth 128

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool-member 1

isdn switch-type basic-net3

isdn point-to-point-setup

ppp authentication chap

PPP chap hostname Router A hostname

ppp multilink

end

interface Dialer0

ip address X.X.X.X

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

dialer remote-name abcd

dialer string 123456

dialer load-threshold 1 either

dialer-group 1

no cdp enable

ppp authentication chap

ppp chap hostname "outer A hostname"

ppp multilink

dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

router B :

username admin password cisco

interface BRI0

bandwidth 128

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool-member 1

isdn switch-type basic-net3

isdn point-to-point-setup

ppp authentication chap

PPP chap hostname "Ruter Bhostname"

In the above config , call is connecting from Router A to Router B.

Remove backup interface command from serial and check the isdn status.

After that put the command under serial interface.

Please check the below link.

Hi Satish,

Thanks for you information...

Things look to be fine from the config pespective. But for the backup, I am using floating static route. Could that be the reason for this...

Thanks,

smothuku · ‎12-12-2007

Hi Sagar ,

No , it doesn't matter.We should have floating static route to forward the traffic in case of primary link fail.

If possible send me both the routers config.

Restart the NT boxes on both ends and check it.

Thanks,

satish
