Dial-peer Preference

[tughril.m.muhammad]

Problem with two seperate dial-peers. The config is below for the two. Essentially what happens is the lower priority dial-peer is chosen over the higher for some reason. when we shut down dial-peer 1780 the router then used dial-peer 1781.

dial-peer 1780 uses FXOs to get outbound adn 1781 uses a CAS port. Any questions or ideas. version of code is 12.4.3. router is a 2821.

I wonder if it has anything to do with your trunkgroup command? if you lock it down to one fxo port, what happens?

Strangly we performed another test with the dial-peers where we changed the order and when we put the 1781 first in the configuation. When we did this the 1781/cas was used first. This shows that the preference isn't working for some reason. hint, hint: bug possibly.
