ISDN Switch Type basic-net3 - Question- Chuck or Priscilla any input?
Dear folks, I would like to do some research on the strange behavior of the switch = type basic-net3. Usually when a show ISDN status command is done and an ISDN BRI is = correctly configured it will show the physical layer as "ACTIVE" unless backup interface = commands are in use. When backup commands are in use the output of the show isdn status show = the physical layer as "DEACTIVATED". This switch type is used in Europe has the = behavior of showing the=20 physical layer as "DEACTIVATED" and no backup commands are being used. = This causes some confusion where I work at. Anyway, I would like to research this further = but seems like the CCO is only interested in how to enter this switch type in a router = configuration and other sources which I have looked are very sketchy on information on the switch capabilites. = Any information would be appreciated.

This is typical behavior for the basic-net3 switch. You won't see active until the call is placed, then everything will be normal. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Raul F.

The routers in question were 7206s located in Paris. I saw more of this exact behavior on some other routers in Europe, but can't remember which ones. Here is the relevant portion of the config for the router in question. I don't have a good explanation for this behavior, but when I asked, I was told that it occurred because they were not using a true basic-net3 switch, they were using some sort of emulation instead.

RE: ISDN Switch Type basic-net3 - Question- Chuck or Priscilla any input?
Interesting. When I set up a router using basic-net3, a colleague warned me that it would not show active until a call was placed - he didn't know why but that was what he had experienced. When I set up the router, though, the physical layer DID show active without a call. If the behaviour depends on the exact switch used in the exchange, that would explain why it differs sometimes.
