Line Appears Looped - every other time

stu_syn
Level 1
Level 1

Hi People,

A problem here that's got me stumped. Two 800 routers, over an ISDN simulator. Now every OTHER time you try and ping each other, it doesn't work.

PPP negotiation says:

Line appears to be looped back.

and it drops the call after 10-20 seconds.

Full PPP negotiation shown here:

stuart#ping 192.1.12.2

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.1.12.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

Then again it fails, and so on and so on.

Just wondering if someone's seen this. I've tried different code levels and both routers are doing it.

I'll include the simple configs:

Many Thanks,

You should suspect your simulator. The MagicNumber is an option within LCP negotiations, it is a randomly generated number that is intended to detect loopback conditions. In the first case, we are receiving our own MagicNumber - thus we believe there to be a loop. Given the consistency,

I would suggest the simulator be looked at.

Whatever PPP/LCP frames your router "stuart" is sending out, its coming back into itself (as shown by the same magic number in the outbound and the next inbount LCP). Its intermittent but you definitely need to check your simulator. No where else.

Do you have any hunting setup in the simulator for 01628500453? If you added "debug isdn q931" to the mix it might help a little, maybe not, since the simulator could be doing anything with those ppp packets. Do you have more then one channel assigned to either router?
