Dialer watch cannot work with ppp multilink 128k ISDN backup

lehpoh

Level 1

Initially I have a leased line, backup by 64k ISDN using dialer watch and OSPF. So when the leased line fails, the 64k ISDN will kick in due to lost route and the ISDN will disconnect when the leased line is restored.

Recently I want to backup my leased line using 128k ISDN by adding additional command like ppp multilink and dialer load-threshold 1 either. When my leased line fails, the 128k ISDN will kick in but when the leased line is restored, this 2 channels ISDN never get disconnected! It still connected after 3 hours.....The ISDN by default comes with 128k, so it has only one phone number.

Anyone cares to enlighten me?

Thanks a lot.

Check the ospf interface cost of the isdn 128k versus the leased line. The isdn route may be better now that the bandwidth has increased so the leased line route will not be put into the route table. If thats is the problem fix it with higher ospf cost on the dialer interface.

When the leased line is restored, all the routes in routing table are leased line route. I have checked already.

So it not that it is still using the isdn, it just isnt hanging it up. I would think you need "ip ospf demand circuit" on the dialer interface but you said it was working with 64k. Try deb ip packet and see whats crossing the link.

Looks to me like you are still running CDP on your BRI and Dialer interfaces. This will definitevly keep it up. You might want to disable CDP on these interfaces with the command

no cdp enable

Or disable it entirely on the router with the global command

no cdp run

Finally my problem solved by using dialer load-threshold (2 and above) either.

The ISDN backup link refuse to disconnect if I use dialer load-threshold 1 either. It sounds wierd to me but it works.....

Remove dialer-group 1 when using Dialer watch- group on watched interfaces

Use either but not both
