Cisco ISDN Router for connecting to ISP

[fkseow]

Anyone knows that any of the Cisco router model can function like an ISDN lan modem, i.e. whenever there is Internet traffic demand, the router will call to ISP by ISDN and login to Internet based an username and password that given by the ISP (Just like the one that the analog modem dial-up).

The router will obtain an IP address from the ISP. Whenever there is no more Internet traffic, the router will disconnect the line in a given time frame.

Please suggest the appropriate Cisco router model and any sample configuration of it.

Please help out.

Thanks man on the 801 configuration guide.

Hi, first of all I tested your above configuration on a 2610 router. The symptom is that I failed to connect to ISP as the router console show that the BRI0/0 was connected to 1525 (my ISP ISDN #) and change state to up but immediately after that the bri0/0 changed state to down.

The state up and down continuously. What could be the reason ? My username and password are correct.

I used IE to enable the Internet traffic and I used ISDN Switch-type basic-net3.

Hi,

You can do this using any cisco low end router with onr BRI and one ethernet interface. ( my choice a cisco 1600 )

i can send you the required configuration on the router , to a email address.
