I just did Lab 8 again yesterday and came up with a similar, yet different
issue.
First, to respond to Justin with what I think is happening. It sounds to me
that you're ISDN line is coming up whenever there's a topology change. Now,
based on your description, it comes up every time the ISDN line drops. So,
the ISDN line dropping is causing a topology change. Although OSPF knows
about it, what if OSPF redistributed the information about the ISDN line
drop into other protocols? How would the other protocols handle this event?
I don't want to give away what is going on here, but those are some clues to
get you going.
My question is slightly different. The requirement of the ISDN is that it
"only comes up when the ethernet goes down". It also says you have to use
Demand Circuit. Now, my line doesn't flap due to the ISDN topology change,
but it does come up when there is a topology change elsewhere in the
network. I regard this as normal behaviour for Demand Circuit. Now, like
Justin said, I could block 224.0.0.5, but I believe that will hinder the
resiliency of the line.
Looking at Marc's solutions, he has basically the same configs as myself. I
suspect it is normal behaviour for the line to come up when the network
changes.
Regarding the actual lab, if presented with a situation like this, I presume
the best thing to do is "ask the proctor"?
