Re: ISDN both channel

ishwar · ‎08-02-2006

I have been using ISDN as a backup link.But I can see only 64kbps,it means it is using only one channel.Please tell me how can I use both channel(128 Kbps)?

Hi

(1)Can You post the config for both the sides?

(2)Idelly bundling can be achieved through "ppp multilink" command.

hi

I see the dialer load threshold command missing at the remote end which may be the reason over here for not getting the channels up.

Also do confirm whether you are using one of the channels for any other purpose predominantly for voice in any of these locations ?that may also end up in usage of only one channel though you have 2 in the physical line.

Hi Ishwar,

The ISDN BRI comes in many flavors, for instance it could be that the vendor who is supplying you the connection is actually giving you only 1B+1D instead of 2B+1D.

So I would be recommending that, to use the following link for guidence http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk379/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094b7a.shtml

Also, if the issue is still pending may I request you to paste the output from debug ISDN q931 to understand whats really going on.

Please rate if it helps.

Kind Regards,

Wilson Samuel

Hello,

in addition to the other posts, what IOS version are you running ? This could also be a bug, there are quite a few of them regarding PPP multilink.

You also might want to try and set you dialer load-threshold to:

dialer load-threshold 5 either

There can be an issue when you set the value to 1, due to both lines coming up at the same time, which might cause contention, and which could lead to failure on one or both B-channels...

GNT
