This chapter describes how to configure a Cisco router to dial into a central-site router over an ISDN line and provides verification steps and troubleshooting tips.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Before You Begin

Dial-Up ISDN Connection to a Central-Site Router

Dial-Up ISDN Connection with Dialer Profiles

Leased-Line ISDN Connection to a Central-Site Router

Dial-In ISDN BRI Pool

Before You Begin

The configurations in this chapter are based on the following assumptions:

Your Cisco router hardware is correctly installed in accordance with the Hardware Installation Guide for your Cisco router.

Your Cisco router is using multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

Your ISDN line is installed and correctly configured. Refer to the "Configuring the ISDN Line" chapter in the Hardware Installation Guide for more information on ordering and configuring your ISDN line.

Before you begin configuration, be aware of the following:

You need to enter the commands in the order shown in the task tables.

The values shown in italic are examples. For the values shown, you should instead enter values appropriate for your network.

You should be familiar with Cisco IOS software and its conventions.


Note To use the verification steps described in this chapter, you must be familiar with Cisco IOS commands and command modes. When you use the verification steps, you need to change to different command modes. If you are not familiar with command modes, see the "Understanding Command Modes" section in the "Introduction to Router Configuration" chapter.


Dial-Up ISDN Connection to a Central-Site Router

This section tells how to configure your Cisco router for Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) when dialing out over an ISDN line. Configure your router for IP if you want to use Internet services, such as the World Wide Web, or if the network that you are dialing into uses IP. Configure your router for IPX if your network uses IPX network services, such as NetWare file servers or print servers.

This configuration assumes that the Cisco router is dialing into a central-site router.


Note If you are using IP but not IPX on your network, do not enter the commands that include the ipx keyword.


These are the major tasks in configuring your router:

Step 10 

dialer-list 1 protocol ipx list 900

(Optional) Specify an access list both by list number and by protocol (IPX) to define the packets that will trigger the router to make a call to the destination.

Verifying Your Configuration

You can verify your configuration to this point by

Confirming the Static IP Route

Confirming the IPX Route

Confirming Connectivity to the Central-Site Router

Confirming Multilink PPP Configuration for the B1 Channel

Confirming Multilink PPP Configuration for the B2 Channel

Confirming the Static IP Route

You can verify your configuration by confirming the static IP route:


Step 1 From the privileged EXEC command mode, enter the show ip route command.

Substitute the IP address of the central-site router ISDN interface for the IP address shown in the example.

Step 2 Confirm that the "directly connected via BRI" message (shown in the output example) appears in the command output:

Router# show ip route 192.168.37.40
Routing entry for 192.168.37.40/32
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected)
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
 * directly connected, via BRI0
      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

Step 3 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.


Confirming the IPX Route


Step 1 From the privileged EXEC command mode, enter the show ipx route command. You should see command output similar to the following:

Router# show ipx route 123
Codes: C - Connected primary network,    c - Connected secondary 
network
       S - Static, F - Floating static, L - Local (internal), W - 
IPXWAN
       R - RIP, E - EIGRP, N - NLSP, X - External, A - Aggregate
       s - seconds, u - uses
2 Total IPX routes. Up to 1 parallel paths and 16 hops allowed.
No default route known.
C        123 (PPP),           BR0

Step 2 Confirm that the IPX network number (123, in this example) matches the IPX network number that you configured with the ipx network command when you configured the Fast Ethernet interface.

Step 3 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.


Confirming Connectivity to the Central-Site Router

You can verify your configuration by confirming connectivity to the central-site router:


Step 1 From the privileged EXEC command mode, enter the ping command, followed by the IP address of the central-site router. You should see command output similar to the following:

Router# ping 192.168.37.40 
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.37.40, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 40/43/48 ms
Router#
*Mar  1 03:37:46.526: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0:1, changed state 
to up
*Mar  1 03:37:46.923: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface 
BRI0:1, changed state to up
*Mar  1 03:37:46.939: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Virtual-Access1, 
changed state to up
*Mar  1 03:37:47.923: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface 
Virtual-Access1, changed state to up
 *Mar  1 03:35:57.217: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface BRI0:1 is now 
connected to 5552053 HQ

Step 2 Note the percentage in the "Success rate" line. If the success rate is 60 percent (3/5) or greater, your router is successfully transferring data to the central-site router.

Step 3 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.


Confirming Multilink PPP Configuration for the B1 Channel

Perform the two verification procedures in this section to verify that multilink PPP is configured on the ISDN B1 channel.

For the first verification procedure, perform these steps:


Step 1 From the privileged EXEC mode, confirm that the ISDN is connected to the remote site by entering the ping command, followed by the IP address of the central-site router:

Router# ping 192.168.37.40 

Step 2 Enter the show ppp multilink command.

Step 3 Confirm that the "Master link is Virtual-Access1" message appears in the command output.

Router# show ppp multilink
 Bundle HQ, 1 member, Master link is Virtual-Access1
Dialer Interface is BRI0
  0 lost fragments, 0 reordered, 0 unassigned, sequence 0x0/0x0 
rcvd/sent
  0 discarded, 0 lost received, 1/255 load
Member Link: 1
BRI0:1

Step 4 If you do not see the message in the output, do one or both of the following:

Confirm that multilink PPP is configured on the central-site router that you are connecting to.

If multilink PPP is configured on the central-site router, use the show interface command as described in the second verification procedure.

Step 5 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.


For the second verification procedure, perform these steps:


Step 1 From the privileged EXEC command mode, confirm that the ISDN line is connected to the remote site by entering the ping command, followed by the IP address of the central-site router:

Router# ping 192.168.37.40 

Step 2 Enter the show interface virtual-access 1 command.

Step 3 Confirm that the "Open: IPCP" message appears in the command output:

Router# show interface virtual-access 1

Virtual-Access1 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is Virtual Access interface
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 64 Kbit, DLY 100000 usec, rely 255/255, load 
1/255
  Encapsulation PPP, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)
  DTR is pulsed for 5 seconds on reset
  LCP Open, multilink Open
Open: IPCP
Last input 00:00:01, output never, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters 00:54:41
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue 0/40, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops
  5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
     708 packets input, 150742 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
     709 packets output, 157653 bytes, 0 underruns
     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
     0 carrier transitions

Step 4 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.


Confirming Multilink PPP Configuration for the B2 Channel

Perform the two procedure in this section to verify that multilink PPP is configured on the ISDN B2 channel.


Step 1 From the privileged EXEC command mode, confirm that the ISDN line is connected to the remote site by entering the ping command, followed by the IP address of the central-site router:

Router# ping 192.168.37.40 

Step 2 Create enough network traffic so that the second ISDN B channel dials the remote site.


Note One way to perform Step 2 is to reduce the amount of data needed to cause the second B channel to dial. To reduce the amount (called the threshold), use the dialer load-threshold command, which is described in Step 11 of the "Configuring the ISDN Interface" section.


Step 3 Check LEDs B1 and B2.

If both LEDs are lit solid, multilink PPP is correctly configured for both ISDN B channels.

Step 4 To continue configuration, reenter global configuration mode.


Tips

If you are having problems, do the following:

Confirm that your router is configured with the correct IP address.

Confirm that you have correctly configured the static IP routes with the ip route command.

Leased-Line ISDN Connection to a Central-Site Router

This section describes how to configure the router so that it uses the ISDN line as a leased-line connection to the central-site router. Unlike a switched connection to the central-site router, in which the router dials the central-site router only when it detects specified types and amounts of data traffic, a leased-line ISDN connection is always connected to the central office switch.

In addition to the assumptions described in the "Before You Begin" section at the beginning of this chapter, this configuration is based on the additional assumption that both ISDN B channels are connecting to the same central-site router.

These are the major tasks in configuring your router for a leased-line ISDN connection:
