RE: ISDN interface problem

It seems that your ISDN is using Backup interface command.
Check on your serial interface config, you should be able to see 
some command as shown: "backup delay 30 300
backup interface BRI 0/0

Just remove the command from the interface, and your BRI 0/0 will become up,
up

Subject: ISDN interface problem


Hi there colleagues,

I have a problem with my ISDN interface on a Cisco 2610 router. I just had a

Telekom engineer at the site verify that the line is ok to the interface, 
but he cannot see any lights burning on the intreface (B1 and B2 LEDs). When

I do a sh isdn status, I get the following:

Ener_Erkath#sh isdn status
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
ISDN BRI0/0 interface
dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-1tr6
Layer 1 Status:
DEACTIVATED
Layer 2 Status:
Layer 2 NOT Activated
Layer 3 Status:
0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0
The Free Channel Mask:  0x8003
Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0

When I change the ISDN switchtype to basic-net3, it doesn't change the 
status of the ISDN.
Here is the output from the sh int bri0/0:

Ener_Erkath#sh int bri0/0
BRI0/0 is standby mode, line protocol is down
  Hardware is PQUICC BRI
  Internet address is 10.90.1.70/30

 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 3 interface resets
 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
 140 carrier transitions

Does anybody know if this could just mean that the interface is not 
functioning at all ? What do the carrier transitions mean ? And what does 
'standby mode' mean ?
I am also not able to bounce the interface (shutdown/no shutdown doesn't 
change the status on the interface, it remains in standby mode).
Thanks for your help in advance !

Georg

RE: ISDN interface problem

2000-07-24 Thread Odell, Jeff

When an interface is configured as a backup, you can not use it for anything
else.  What you could do in this case is put the BRI interface into a dialer
group.  Configure the dialer group as the backup interface.  You can then
use the BRI interface while the main link is active.

Not sure (I haven't used BRI interfaces much), but I seem to remember that
if an
ISDN interface is configured as a backup interface, it will be in standby
mode
and cannot be used for anything else.
Is your BRI configured as a backup interface?  If so, what happens when the
main
link is brought down?
Can anyone confirm or deny my hazy memory?

the router when changing the ISDN switch type to make the change take

Maybe posting a "show config" would help determine why BRI0/0 is in standby
mode.

BTW Carrier Transitions are incremented each time your "call" changes state.
For example, when an active call gets disconnected (from timeout, bad
hardware, etc.), that activity will increment the Carrier Transition count
by one.  If you have DDR/BOD setup, this is a pretty typical thing.  If not,
then you either need to make a config change or you might have bad hardware
somewhere in the line.

RE: ISDN interface problem

2000-07-24 Thread Michael Munoz

Hello,

First problem I see is 'Layer 1 DEACTIVATED'.  Here is the link and
suggestion to this problem from Cisco:


http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/smbiz/service/troubleshooting/ts_isdn.h
tm

Using Show Commands To Troubleshoot ISDN Networks

The show commands in the Cisco IOS that are most helpful in solving ISDN
problems tell you whether you are connected to the local ISDN switch - show
isdn status, or whether you have successfully made a call - show dialer.

Show ISDN Status Command
Upon getting the ISDN line provisioned by telco, the only parameters that
are required for the router to synchronize with the switch are the switch
type and the spid(s). Sample configuration would be:

isdn switch-type basic-ni1
!
interface BRI0
 isdn spid1 4112120101 5551212
 isdn spid2 4112130101 5551213
After proper configuration, output from the show isdn status EXEC command
would yield:

The current ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni1
ISDN BRI0 interface
Layer 1 Status:
ACTIVE
Layer 2 Status:
TEI = 112, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
TEI = 113, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
Layer 3 Status:
No Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0
Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0


-- Failure of the Cisco router to synchronize properly with the ISDN switch
would yield:

The current ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni1
ISDN BRI0 interface
Layer 1 Status:
DEACTIVATED
Layer 2 Status:
Layer 2 NOT Activated
Layer 3 Status:
No Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0
Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0

If you receive this output, the possible causes are:

-
Problem Suggested Action

Faulty CableReplace the cable from router to ISDN jack, making 
sure the
cable contains the middle two pins (pins 4  5 in an RJ-45 cable).
Wrong Switch Type or Spid(s)Contact telco and confirm switch type and
spid(s). Re-enter them into router and issue the clear interface bri number
EXEC command.
Faulty ISDN lineGet an analog phone and plug into ISDN jack. 
You should
get either 1) a clicking noise, or 2) white noise/light static. If you do
not get either of those, it is not an active ISDN line. Contact telco and
open trouble ticket.

Hi Larry,

thanks for your answer.
What exactly do you mean by enabling the interface first ?
My concern is that I do not see any lit LEDs on the interface. Can you tell 
me what a status of standby/down means ? How can I get the interface in 
up/up (spoofing) status ? Also, what do the carrier transitions mean ?
I include the output from the sh int command:

Ener_Erkath#sh int bri0/0
BRI0/0 is standby mode, line protocol is down

I think you will need to enable the interface first
before you can set the switch type.

  Hi there colleagues,
 
  I have a problem with my ISDN interface on a Cisco
  2610 router. I just had a
  Telekom engineer at the site verify that the line is
  ok to the interface,
  but he cannot see any lights burning on the
  intreface (B1 and B2 LEDs). When
  I do a sh isdn status, I get the following:
 
  Ener_Erkath#sh isdn status
  Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
  ISDN BRI0/0 interface
  dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype =
  basic-1tr6
  Layer 1 Status:
  DEACTIVATED
  Layer 2 Status:
  Layer 2 NOT Activated
  Layer 3 Status:
  0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
  Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0
  The Free Channel Mask:  0x8003
  Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0
 
  When I change the ISDN switchtype to basic-net3, it
  doesn't change the
  status of the ISDN.
  Here is the output from the sh int bri0/0:
