Hi ALL
I had recently a strange problem in ISDN.
A C2600 router, that has a microwave link as primary and ISDN as Backup interface, is working very fine.
When upgrading the same configuration to new router C2811, the BRI interface is always UP, when i debugged the dialer, i found that traffic is being sent from the BRI interface sourve to 224.0.0.10(eigrp multicast),
Jul 25 23:06:35 : BR0/0/0 DDR: place call
Jul 25 23:06:35 : BR0/0/0 DDR: Dialing cause ip (s=172.17.1.18, d=224.0.0.10)
Jul 25 23:06:35 : BR0/0/0 DDR: Attempting to dial 01966115
Jul 25 23:06:36 : %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0/0/0:2, changed state to up
Jul 25 23:06:36 : %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface BRI0/0/0:2 is now connected to 019
So how could applying exactly the same config on 2 different routers, create such a difference???
(config attached)
Please advise

Hello,
your access/dialer list is wrong this should have never worked right prior as you have dialer-list 1 ip permit in that case it would always dial all the time
you need to add
dialer-list 1 list 101
access-list 101 deny ip any host
acesss-list 101 deny eigrp any any
access-list 101 permit x.x.x.x x.x.x.x( interesting traffic that you want to trigger the dial)
Thx Steve

hello
i agree with you totally
i even personally dont do such type of configuration, i always configure the ISDN as default gateway with a higher AD
but my task was just to change the Router's type, and i noticed that thing.
But the weird thing is that on the older router, 2610 (IOS: c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-6e.bin) was not showing that problem, i tried to shut/unshut the interface multiple tims, and it worked fine.
could there be any commands enabled by default on the C2811 (new router) that were not enabled by default on the older one that my be causing the problem??

Id have to say no as the def for the dialer list is not haveing a dialer list so it would never dial. The conf is just incorrect. Id have to say it been going on for a long time and just no one noticed it as with "ip permit" that line will always be flapping and dialing 24x7
Thx Steve

I will try the suggested config in the next intervention.
Just i want to clear something,
in the access list u suggested, what do u mean by the first line
"access-list 101 deny ip any host"
deny ip any to which host?

That should block normal broadcast from triggering the dial. It's just by habit I always used it back in the day when I did DDR every day.
Thx Steve

hey there
the
deny eigrp any any
permit ip any any
solved the problem as expected.
But while troubleshooting i found something that i would like to ask about:
in the older router (C2610), when i put "BACKUP INTERFACE BRI0/0/0" under the serial interface,
the BRI interface shows as STANDBY/shutdown in the SHOW IP INT BRIEF output, so even if there was a Permit ip any any in the dialer list, there is nothing that could initiate a call as the interface is shut.
Router(C2620)#show ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
FastEthernet0/0 192.0.8.1 YES NVRAM up up
FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
BRI0/0/0 172.17.1.18 YES NVRAM standby mode/disabled down
BRI0/0/0:1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
BRI0/0/0:2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
while in the C2811 router, the same config was applied, but in the SHOW IP INT BRIEF output, the BRI interface is showing as UP UP, and sub channel are down,but all the IP traffic is passing though the primary interface, but in this case the eirgp traffic initiated from the interface BRI is able to initiate the call
Router(c2811)#show ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
FastEthernet0/0 192.0.4.1 YES NVRAM administratively down down
FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
BRI0/0/0 172.17.1.26 YES NVRAM up up
BRI0/0/0:1 unassigned YES unset down down
BRI0/0/0:2 unassigned YES unset down down
does anyone knows why in the old Router/IOS version, the BACKUP INTERFACE operate differently(shuts the BRI interface when in standbye) from when being applied on a newer IOS/ROUTER (BRI is physically UP, not passing IP traffic, but passing eigrp traffic)?
