Hello Antonio,

have a look here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/dial/configuration/guide/dia_backup_serial_ps6350_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1001021

Note:

define interesting traffic carefully to avoid to pay high fees

don't use simple permit ip for the dialer list

Hope to help

Giuseppe

I had congifure the remote site

but I am seeing that its not dialing when I put the serial line down even the interface dialer goes up

I ahve the following configuration on the remote router

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 192.168.253.14 255.255.255.252

ip accounting output-packets

ip accounting precedence input

ip accounting precedence output

ip nbar protocol-discovery

!

interface BRI0/1/0

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool-member 1

isdn switch-type basic-net3

isdn point-to-point-setup

interface Dialer1

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

dialer string 2601424

dialer string 2601425

dialer-group 1

Hello Antonio,

your Dialer1 interface should have an ip address: a backup link is still an IP link

it is not possible to route ip traffic over an interface where IP is disabled

in this context you can assign a private ip subnet to the DDR service and you can give static ip addresses to the two sites.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

and make sure you set the admin distance of the static route to 200, otherwise everything will go across you dialer, causing a high telephone bill!

so ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer 1 200 (for instance)

Hi everybody

I add an IP address to the dialer interface.

But when I put the main serial down the dialing its not happennig :

*Jun 30 16:48:33.693: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 100: Neighbor 192.168.253.1

Did you add the static route ?

Have you verifyed the ISDN switch type with the carrier ?

Hi below is the config...

check with your provider about switch type which needs to configures on bri interface.

Thanks,

Hi Smot

Thanks for your help . I put the configuration you sugest but my BRI (End - B config ) its still no dialing whe the Serial goes down

Just to confirm , my switch type is net3

sounds like your dial string isn't correct. Is this a local call ? which country

see the info on the stuff below, Its pretty helpful:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1/debug/command/reference/dbdipx.html#wp1017611

Here is a list of supported switch types, Ididn't see yours.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/debug/command/reference/dbftisdn.html

Can you actually make a call over the BRI? Forget the config for the moment and use an interactive command to test. Turn on debug q931 and term mon (Or log con) then issue this command...

isdn test call int b0/1/0 xxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx = the number you are trying to call.

View the debug output to confirm its even trying to call.

hello,

i think you better first manually test the isdn service before test the backup function.

- under bri interface, you need ppp authentication too.

- you need to send chap username password in dialer interface.

- you need local user database to authenticate remote device.

your floating static would be better this way:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1 200

ip route 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.255 dialer1

also, please provide sh isdn service and debug isdn q931 when dialing. Preferably in attachment.

Hi team

This is the result off my isdn call teste

*Jul 2 10:40:28.387: ISDN BR0/1/0 **ERROR**: handle_l2d_srq_mail: Layer 1 inact

ive

*Jul 2 10:40:36.387: ISDN BR0/1/0 **ERROR**: host_disconnect_ack: Call rejected

cause Temporary failure(0x29) call id 0x8004

hello,

we need "sh isdn service" and full debug of "debug isdn q931" from start.

You do have layer 1 and 2 right? Post the output from the "show isdn status" command please.
