Hi all,
I have a voice gateway (ISR 2821) connected to a NT1 through a BRi port. The normal operating status of this BRI port is:
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
ISDN BRI0/0/0 interface
dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
Layer 1 Status:
DEACTIVATED
Layer 2 Status:
TEI = 0, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = TEI_ASSIGNED
Layer 3 Status:
0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003
Layer 1 is deactivated because our telco provider pulls down the physical layer when there is no activity in the link.
By the way, Layer 2 status is active with
assigned TEI 0 (statically assigned in the port configuration).
When I reload the gateway, the status of the interface becomes:
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
ISDN BRI0/0/0 interface
dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
Layer 1 Status:
DEACTIVATED
Layer 2 Status:
Layer 2 NOT Activated
Layer 3 Status:
0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003
Obviously, when this condition occurs, no dial-peer will match because no ports are available in order to forward outbound calls to the PSTN, and so the callmanager connected to this gateway won't allow any outbound call until the BRI port is available again.
The BRI port stays in this status until an incoming call from the PSTN is received (and TEI is re-assigned).
Is there a way to bring up BRI L2 up automatically?
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Enrico
