Multilink issues with one T1

tahequivoice
Level 2
Level 2

We have a real doozy of a problem here. 2 T1's one side on a 2800 router, the other end on different DS3's on the same 7200 router. We have done this with other sites with no problems, but this one has us stumped. One T1 is missing the PPP keepalives, and causes the multilink to flap and not work. The T1 is testing 100% clean, both directions CSU to CSU. No errors at all, but every minute, it misses 5 keepalives and drops protocol, renegotiates, and comes back up. Right now I have it as a single PtP T1 with IP's at both ends, and I can slam it with max bytes forever, and only when the LCP drops do I lose packets, but again, no errors. When brought into the multilink though, massive errors, both on the T1 and the multilink.

Anyone give me an idea what to look for next? The only thing I can think of is a misprovisioned circuit, but there are no errors.

Here is the debug output

Understand that you may checked 1000 times, but symptoms are of "no keepalives" at one side.

5 missed keepalives = 50 seconds

That part I get, but what would be blocking the keepalives?  The interfaces are configred all default, only IP and encapsulation are configured on both ends.

Take debug at the other side, we want to see the keepalive being sent out to begin with.

I will need to do that in a maintenance window, it is our core router with hundreds of othe connections.

May be a long shot, but the core may be suffering some data structure corruption and not sending keepalive even if supposed to.

Try switching encap to hdlc and back.
