Hi Hilmar,

I finally got stuck in with the debugger attached. I *think* I've helped things by denying the eigrp and rip stuff. I took the timeout down to a minute for testing so I won't feel safe until I take it back up to a more practical 3-5 minutes and test that. Only annoyance I have now is that I can't seem to get cdp (Cisco Discovery Protocol?) disabled - the relevant commands (no cdp enable ? ) just don't seem to have any effect. Anyway there IS progress. Thanks again,

Viv

If you don't know much about configuration, perhaps Cisco ConfigMaker can help. This is a free download (you have to fill out a form, indicating how you plan to use it), and it seems to support many Cisco technologies. I don't know whether it specifically supports ISDN & DDR. This would generate the relevant commands, and upload them to the router.

On the other hand, I am taking a quick look at the relevant chapter in the textbook. The following seem to be relevant commands:


show dialer: Displays diagnostic information for DDR.

dialer idle-timeout: Define timeout for connection. In seconds.

dialer-string: Specify phone number to dial.

debug dialer: Show information about packets received on a dialer interface. Note: As with all debugging commands, don't forget to issue no debug ... or no debug all when you are finished. Otherwise, the router will have unnecessary work to do.

There are several other commands listed; I will really have to study the relevant chapter in more detail, to understand the details.
