Cost Control Over Demand Circuits

 

 

Dial-on-demand circuits always appear to be in the Up state to the protocols. Most

 

 

protocols send out periodic routing information that could cause the router to dial

 

 

out each time the routing information is sent over dial-on-demand circuits. To limit

 

 

periodic routing updates, con®gure IP and OSI to use only static routes and disable

 

 

the routing protocols (RIP, OSPF) over the dial circuits. If you are using IPX,

 

 

con®gure static routes and services and disable the routing protocols (RIP, SAP)

 

 

over the dial circuits. Another option is to con®gure low-frequency RIP and SAP

 

 

update intervals, although this does not prevent RIP and SAP from broadcasting

 

 

routing information changes as they occur. You should also enable IPX Keepalive

 

 

®ltering, which prevents keepalive and serialization packets from continually

 

 

activating the dial-on-demand link.

 

Caller ID and LIDS

 

If the ISDN service provides the ANI or CallerID (CLID) service by providing the

 

Calling Party Number (CPN) in the ISDN setup message, you can use it to match

 

up dial circuits to the appropriate caller. Otherwise, you must either use a

 

proprietary line identi®cation protocol (LID) or provide circuits that are ªANY

 

INBOUNDº.

 

The LID protocol uses the inbound destination in the dial circuit con®guration and

 

LID received to match the calling dial circuit to the receiving dial circuit. The LID

 

protocol is a brief identi®cation protocol initiated by the caller and answered by the

 

receiver. If the caller does not provide the LID message, the receiver may reject the

 

call, if any_inbound dial circuit is not con®gured. LID exchanges occur on the

 

B-channel.

 

 

When connecting to routes that do not support logical ids (LIDS), you can suppress

 

 

the LID exchange using the con®g option under the individual dial circuit.

 

 

config> set lid_used no

 

On the incoming side, if lid_used=no, the call is completed and the IBM 2210 does

 

not wait for the LID to come on the B_channel. Instead, the IBM 2210 tries to use

 

the callerID received. If there is no match on the callerID the IBM 2210 checks to

 

see if an any_inbound dail circuit is available. If no any_inbound circuit is available

 

the call is rejected.

 

On the outgoing side, PPP/FR selftest starts immediately, after B-Channel is

 

allocated.

 

 

 

 

ISDN Cause Codes

 

 

This ISDN implementation speci®es a cause code that will stop the router from

 

 

attempting to establish a connection through an ISDN interface. If the application

 

 

retries, the router again attempts to establish a connection through this interface

 

 

and will succeed if the original problem has been corrected. If during the retry the

 

 

router encounters the same cause code, the application will not attempt further

 

 

connection processing through this interface.
