Dialer Profiles

EdTheLadEdTheLad Member Posts: 2,111 ■■■■□□□□□□
Am i missing something here?

I have 2 routers A and B connected via a bri interface.

On rA i have created 2 dialer interfaces,dialer1 and dialer2.
On rB i have also created 2 dialer interfaces dialer1 and dialer2.On rtb dialer1 is in dialer pool 1 and dialer2 is in dialer pool 2.If i config the bri on Rb in dialer pool 1, i can successfull ping from rA using dialer int 1. Likewise if i configure dialer pool 2 on rB's bri, i can ping from rA's dialer 2 interface.
Now,if i configure the bri on rB to be in both dialer pool 1 and dialer pool 2 simultaneously, no pings are successful.
How do i get the receiver Rb to differentiate between the incoming calls, i would like bri 0/0:0 to use int dialer1 and bri0/0:1 to use int dialer2?

Is this possible? i thaught "dialer remote-hostname" would do the trick but it still doesnt work!

There is no problem with the dialer interfaces in the outgoing direction as the routes are mapped to the specific dialer interface.

    Below are the configs, if i remove the a dialer pool statement from RouteC a ping from RouterB will succeed.If left as is, ping fails and the call gets disconnected by RouterB.
    This is doing my head in!

    Have you tried the debug dialer events command? packets?

    Lets see -- you should have the directly connect subnets when you show the routing table.... interesting traffic... isdn status active.... sounds like the interfaces are up...

    Yep, sounds like time for a debug. dialer first, then maybe q931... and then q921 as a last resort.

    Looking at the config makes me happy I don't have to deal with ISDN for the R&S CCIE Lab. :D

    I've done all the debugs q931,q921,dialer but no useful info, just tells me normal disconnect.The call goes through perfectly, ppp establishes, isdn comes up i.e. setup,call proceeding,connect,connect ack and straight away the call gets disconnected.


    Funny, i've now got what i wanted working from RouterC to RouterB so i know its possible.Now i'm just gonna have to compare and see where the problem is.


    Both routers have identical configs, RouterB is on Rel12.3 ,RouterC Rel12.2, i'm putting this one down to ios bug.Only about 5 hrs wasted!

    ok ed_the_lad. Look hard at your config, only thing thats missing is the "max-link minimum" or "max-link maximum" command. The maximum default is set at 255 and minimum is set at 0. I'm not sure if the default is "max-link minimum". This commands sets the minimum and maximum B channels to be used in a dialer pool. Check it out if it works.

    yes, try putting both in same pool and look at using max-links 1 command. While you won't control which channel connects where you should get one call on each

    Yes, i tryed alot of things yesterday switching pools etc but still didnt work.Since it worked in the other direction i know what i wanted to implement is possible so i've moved on to other things at the moment.I will revisit this again in afew days.Maybe its down to not doing clear dialer int, but ill check it later.
