Hi Jenny

To clear an ISDN B Channel requires two steps

1) To figure out which serial interface it is eg serial 1/0:12
2) Issue the command to clear the required interface: clear int serial
1/0:12

That will reset the ISDN-B Channel

If the dialup was via Async, you would enter: clear line tty x

Well that's what I do, maybe somebody else has better ideas!

Subject: ISDN oddities [7:53897]


I'm having a problem with some ISDN channels.
We use ISDN as a failover for other services.  The ISDN is on a AS5300 (IOS
12.1) - note that this is ETSI (switch type primary-net5).
Lots of dialer interfaces, load thresholds set, ppp multilink used.  The
AS5300 dials the remote sites.  60 channels available all up, over two
router interfaces, and up to twenty at each remote end (7500s), but max-link
is set lower so that if we lose a lot of sites at once they can all get a
look in (we then fiddle manually to allow more channels if necessary).
Today, a hub frame relay service went plunk, throwing a stack of offices
onto the ISDN.  No great problem there.  Except that, after a while, the
AS5300 decided that it didn't really feel like raising any more calls.  Most
channels on s1:15 were in use, and some on s0:15 - the others appeared to be
usable, but the router wasn't raising calls although loads were above the
thresholds.  Interestingly, when one channel was dropped (due to load
decreasing), it was immediately used by a different (still busy) site. Also,
the AS5300 was repeatedly attempting to call one office, but the call was
being dropped almost immediately.  Some debugging showed that ppp
authentication was succeeding but the call was being dropped - by the called
end - immediately after authentication anyway.  This office already had
several other successful calls in place, but it wasn't at its max-call
limit. I couldn't do a lot of active troubleshooting (e.g. shut/no shutting
the ISDN interface) as I didn't want to jeopardise the connectivity that was
in place.

Any suggestions as to what to look for/try if this happens again?  Is there
any way of clearing a single B channel?

Thanks,
JMcL
