Strange problem with multilink PPP

renzil

Hi All,

I am using four ISDN ports on the 2600 series router to dial to internet using multilink PPP.

The problem is that the router of late jst hangs although the dialer interfaces shows line/protocol up.But i can't ping the dns servers or any public ip address.( The physical layer connectivity is maintained but nothing works at the network layer )

One more point i have noticed is that whenever the dialer dials it gets assigned with multiple public ip's. Could this be a routing issue at the ISP end ????

The temporary workaround is to issue a clear int dialer command and then a clear ip route * command.

Then the connection is up and fine for a couple of hrs.

Can anyone advice how to solve this issue ???

Below is the working config in the router

Dialing getting assigned multiple IP address would be causing the problem. (You are using NAT also on the same interface)

Check with your ISP, if they can assign a single IP (may be static IP address - and multiple logins)

Which will make sure that there will not be any routing issue, even you connect with 128Kb or more.

speed

Note: If you want more than 128Kb, i.e. If you want to combine multiple BRI interfaces , then you may need to configure Multilink group and interfaces.

Thanks Prabhakar for ur reply,

I can check wth my ISP whether they can provide me the static IP address ...( but I think they will not )

I need to bundle multiple BRI's as I need aggregate bandwidth, min 512Kbps.

Can u advice me as to how can i implement the same using multilink group ????

Thanks again
