Hey Mike,
You were right on! Apparently the call was going out but
never received. So the local les/bus pair showed the remote les/bus pair as
"partially operational" Once we got the addresses right the problem was
history. There was also mention of a IISP route as well as the PNNI routes.
I did some reading and found that the IISP routes are more like UNI routes
and do no dynamic routing, whereas you PNNI routes do. My question is why
in the topology would one place a IISP route and not let PNNI do it all
dynamically?
Please let me know if I'm totally lost.... I'm doing allot of reading on
the subject at the moment..trying to get a few things cleared up in my
head(web closet)
TIA
Nigel
