IRB over ISDN?

[fujin.huang]

Hi,

I did a test for CRB and IRB over isdn bri line. I found that it is successful for irb, but failed with irb. I have tried both legacy and dialer profile configuration, both are not successful. I can ping to the BVI ip address within the bridge group.

Any one has any idea?

Thanks a lot.

I seem to remember reading in the doc that irb will not work over dialup. I cannot remember exactly where, and I cannot think offhand why this should be so. Except that the bridged traffic would keep your line open most the time, and cost you a bomb.

"Integrated routing and bridging is supported on all media interfaces except X.25 and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) bridged interfaces."
