I am trying to set up a Cisco 801 in Australia with a Telstra ISDN2 Service

I can't get BRI Layer 2 to an active state

I have minimised the startup configuration of the 801 for testing purposes
as below :-

------------------------------------
!
isdn switch-type basic-net3
!
interface Ethernet0
ip address 192.168.0.240 255.255.255.0
!
interface BRI0
isdn switch-type basic-net3
no ip address
no shutdown
!
------------------------------------

On reboot, the "Line" light on the 801 is lit.
The Telstra NT1 has the "Line" & "Sync" lights lit.


"sh isdn status" returns the following :-

------------------------------------
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
ISDN BRI0 interface
dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3
Layer 1 Status:
ACTIVE
Layer 2 Status:
Layer 2 NOT Activated
Layer 3 Status:
0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003
Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0

------------------------------------

"debug isdn q921" shows the folowing line over & over about once per second
:-

------------------------------------
*Mar 1 00:01:47.736: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:01:48.820: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:01:51.084: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:01:52.124: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:01:53.220: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:01:54.320: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
------------------------------------


"clear interface bri0" shows the following result :-

------------------------------------
*Mar 1 00:02:54.712: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:02:54.996: ISDN BR0 Q921: User TX -> IDREQ ri=29609 ai=127
*Mar 1 00:02:55.984: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:02:56.960: ISDN BR0 Q921: User TX -> IDREQ ri=44602 ai=127
*Mar 1 00:02:57.012: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:02:58.112: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:02:58.956: ISDN BR0 Q921: User TX -> IDREQ ri=37339 ai=127
*Mar 1 00:02:59.212: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:03:01.384: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
*Mar 1 00:03:02.412: ISDN BR0 Q921: User RX <- SABMEp sapi=0 tei=0
------------------------------------


From the Cisco documentation I have determined that the 801 is sending an
IDREQ (Identity request) requesting a TEI and that an IDASSN (Identity
Assigned) should be received back, however this IDASSN is not
forthcoming........


Can anyone help me with this issue please ?

I've had the same problem a couple of times before.

Check that Telstra have set the line up as Point-to-Multipoint and not
Point-to-point.

If they have set the line up as Point-to-point you will never get layer
2 up.

I hope this helps

Leon,

thanks for the info - I believe the lines may be set up as point to point -
I will check & let You & the group know if that was the problem.

regards

A

Leon,

Checked with Telstra, the line was configured as point-to-point, had them
change it to point-to-multipoint and all is now working fine.

Thanks mate
