Dialer watch-list

kuldeep.kaur · ‎08-02-2007

Hi Guys,

On one of our router we have a frame-relay link and a isdn back up link. We use dialer watch-list. Please find below the configuration.

interface BRI0/0/0

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool-member 1

isdn switch-type basic-net3

isdn point-to-point-setup

ppp authentication chap

ppp multilink

interface Dialer0

bandwidth 128

ip address 10.x.x.x x.x.x.x

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

dialer remote-name xxxxxxxxx

dialer idle-timeout 300

dialer string xxxxxxxxxx

dialer hold-queue 30

dialer watch-disable 60

dialer watch-group 1

dialer-group 1

ppp authentication chap

ppp multilink

ppp multilink load-threshold 3 either

dialer watch-list 1 ip 10.206.0.0 255.255.252.0

dialer watch-list 1 ip 10.252.248.39 255.255.255.255

show ip route:

B 10.252.248.39/32 [20/0] via

The problem is when the primary link is back up the isdn line did not disconnect automatically. Is it a bug in the IOS. On this router we are running version 12.4 (3b).

Hi

How long you are seeing your isdn active ?

I think it should be active for 5minutes based even after the primary comes up thats because of the idle timeout configured over there.

Is it possible to reduce the same to least possible value which you feel can suit your enviroment and check ?

Hi Mate,

If you dont shut down the interface it will remain up for ever. I have see this earlier also for another customer and the isdn bills were huge. Any work around.

Tks
