Hi everyone,
I desperately need your help! I am trying to enable dialup internet access termination on AS5400 using SS7 connection to telco switch via PGW v9.6.1. and integrated SLT. I am having trouble configuring the RLM control link between PGW and AS5400. PGW does not sent any rlm packets to as5400.
Here is the AS5400 config:
!
controller E1 6/0
framing NO-CRC4
channel-group 15 timeslots 16
pri-group timeslots 1-15,17-31 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0 rlm-group 0
!
interface Serial6/0:15
no ip address
encapsulation ss7
channel-id 0
!
interface Dchannel6/0
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
dialer rotary-group 0
dialer-group 1
no snmp trap link-status
isdn incoming-voice modem
!
rlm group 0
protocol rlm port 3001
server pgw
link address 10.10.2.10 source Loopback0 weight 1
!
ss7 set session-set 0 failover-timer 3
ss7 session 0 address 10.10.2.10 8061 10.10.1.220 8061 session-set 0
!
Here is PGW config

The problem is that IP link to as5400 is not coming in-service and as a result the associated naspath control link is not coming up.

The strange thing is that I can't set IP Link IN-SERVICE:

pgw mml> set-iplnk:iplnk-2:IS

M RTRV
"iproute-2:IS"
/* Route to AS5400 */
;
pgw mml>
The packet trace shows that PGW is NOT sending any rlm packets to AS5400.
PLEASE HELP!

hi, you might wanna change the rlm port on the gateway to use 3000 instead of 3001.
3000 - gateway
3001 - pgw
hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestion but it didn't help. Finally, I had to change the config to use IUA instead RLM for gateway-to-pgw SS7 connectivity and it worked like a charm. Very strange that RLM didn't work despite the correct config...
