ISDN Dial Up Routing Problem !

Level 1

Hi anyone pls help out.... I have three routers. Each at a remote site. RouterB and RouterC will call to RouterA as required by using dialer profiles and dialer idle-timeout 60.

RouterA:

Loopback0 - 10.10.68.1 255.255.255.128

e0/0 - 10.31.7.3

RouterB:

Loopback0 - 10.10.18.1 255.255.255.128

e0/0 - 10.31.32.50

RouterC:

Loopback0 - 10.10.23.1 255.255.255.128

e0/0 - 10.31.34.50

I use this routing at Router B & RouterC;

RouterB - ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer1 10.10.68.1

RouterC - ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer1 10.10.68.1

These two routers will always connect to RouterA and would not disconnect.

Please suggest the proper routing for RouterA,RouterB and RouterB.

Thank you.

Not enough info to diagnose.

First of all the costly problem. The routers never disconnect.

Please check what dialer-list you have set up for the dialer interfaces. You might have some traffic (from the routing protocol for example, do you run any?) that keeps up the link. You might wish to define interesting traffic via an access list:

dialer-list 1protocol ip list 151

access-list 151 permit tcp any any eq www

access-list 151 permit tcp any any eq ftp

This will keep the link up only if there is web or ftp traffic.

Second the routing. If all your topology is included here, you will need a dialer 1 and 2 in router A to ensure connectivity with the stub nets when the link is down and router A has traffic for them.

Additionally, if there is a lot of traffic between the two stubs in absence of traffic from/toward the hub, it might be convenient (in term of call costs) to allow the two stubs to dial each other. In this case you would need snap shot routing since for each destination there is more than one path.

Finally, if your telco provider charges a call set-up cost, 60 seconds could be a too short idle time, to maximize saving.
