Hi All,
I am connecting two sites with Dialup Modems (Paradyne 3810).
Configuration of the two sites are following;
SITE A:
#interface serial0/0
#ip address 172.28.xx.xx 255.255.255.252
#no shutdown
Got the following error on A site

When i "shut" and "no shut" the interface, the SERAIL 2/1 IS UP FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND AGAIN DOWN.
Kindly suggest where could be the problem; circuit or cable (connected to serial) or protocol.
Please also mention how to resolve it by some additional configuration if required.

It is quite probable that the immediate cause of the problem is that the interface is configured with protocol HDLC and that the HDLC keepalives are not getting through. It is not so clear what is preventing the HDLC keepalives but I suspect that it is something with the Paradyne 3810 modem. The serial interface is not configured with anything about dialup, so am I correct to assume that all of the dial up parameters are configured on the Paradyne 3810? Can you check on the Paradyne 3810 and see whether there is some problem with it? Is it attempting to dial? Is the dial connection being completed?

Are the calls being completed/negotiated correctly?

Dialup modem with synch interfaces?
That is usually a recipe for failure.
Get ADSL on the sites, and do VPN. Or GSM dta service. Or get ISDN. Anything less isn't even worth the effort these days.

Try to Shut down the interface from one side and then DIAL - UP - connect the modems and then NO shut to check .
for further trouble shooting try to reduce the MTU size .
Further more - If you can find any thing in the log after 10 sec when the link goes down - it might be helpful.

Nauman,
It is taking the Default MTU now. and i tried to shut and no shut the interface 4,5 times but it use to get up for some time and than again down.
Kindly tell me some troubleshooting (debugging) commands sequence. I'll log the session and will paste it here for further support if required.

Rick,
Kindly note that the Modems are configured with default parameters. I just configured the Phone numbers which needed to be dialed.
So please tell me(the specific commands) if any thing needed to be added at the modems or router interfaces.
Waiting for reply....
