Hi guys - can anyone see the problem with this:

I have an ISDN simulator with a 1003 and a 1603 routing rip between them. I've cut out as much crap out of the config and have just got basic ppp running on each end.

I'm trying to get either end to initialise a single B channel call. But instead two calls fire up straight away.

I'v tried stripping back the config so only one router dials and a single call is made - however the call fails and it does not route!!

The configs are as follows.

Cheerz.

Bugz.

First thing I noticed is that in the show config outputs for both routers, there is no statement 'router rip'.

More later when I have time to compare this against a live config on an ISDN router I have here at work.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look Hippo.

I have tried it with and without RIP with the same results I left it with IP routing enabled and a default route in either direction.

Thanks again,

Bugz.

look into the dialer load-threshold command.

Check out the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/131/mppp-ddr.html#one

You need the following commands to enable multilink ppp:

ppp multilink
dialer load-threshold load [outbound | inbound | either]

Yankee your right - I just want the one B channel up.

I tried the isdn load-threshold 255 command on both routers and it still does the same!!!

Its like it can only send data in one direction at a time. If one B channel is up and I do a ping - they time out until the 2nd B channel is raised then the pings are OK!!

How frustrating!!!

At the global exec mode type

Router#show dialer interface bri 0

Then copy/paste the output for both routers

you have each end dialing one number so both channels come up. Remove the number from one dialer map statement and keep the dialer load threshold on both ends.

Thanks to everyone on this.

It turns out I had a faulty port on the ISDN simulator. hence the first call fired up and nothing happened. The second call fired up and it began routing!!!

I have swapped ports on the ISDN sim and it is working fine on the one B channel which is what I wanted!! ( I have also removed one of the "dialer map"s to do this).

Thanks again esp. Yankee for taking the time on this one
