Configuring the HP AdvanceStack Internet Router

Configuring ISDN

Take the following steps to configure the router for a basic ISDN PPP connection on a single B channel or two B channels, substituting the correct addresses and host names as appropriate for your network:

1.Enter privileged EXEC mode:

Router> enable

password: enablepassword

2.Enter the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode. Then enter the host name of the current router, the user name of the target router (the router to which packets will be sent), and the password that the routers will use for CHAP caller identification. The user name and password are case sensitive and must match the host name and password of the target router (even if it is not a Cisco router):

Router# configure terminal

Router (config)# hostname currentrouter

Router (config)# username targetrouter password abc

3.Enter the isdn switch-typecommand to configure the ISDN switch type (such as basic-5ess, basic-dms100, or basic-ni1). Refer to 3-1, earlier in this chapter, for a list of ISDN switch types supported.

Router (config)# isdn switch-typeswitch-type

4.Configure the IP address and subnet mask for the LAN interface:

Router (config)# interface type port_number

Router (config-if)# ip address ipaddress subnetmask

5.Configure the IP address and subnet mask for the BRI interface:

Router (config-if)# interface bri port_number

Router (config-if)# ip address ipaddress subnetmask

6.If you are using an ISDN switch type (such as Basic NI1 or DMS-100) that requires a service profile identifier (SPID), enter the SPID and optional local directory number (LDN). The SPID and LDN are assigned by the ISDN service provider.

The SPID is a number that identifies the service to which you have subscribed. A SPID is not required for AT&T 5ESS service configured for a point-to-point connection.

The LDN is an optional seven-digit phone number for the channel.
