Hi Group,

I have a question using dialer watch with dialer profile.

Here is the config:

The calling router:

interface BRI0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool-member 1
 isdn switch-type basic-ni
 isdn spid1 5201 5200
 isdn spid2 5202 5200
 ppp authentication chap
 ppp multilink

interface Dialer0
 ip address 172.16.224.5 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 ip ospf demand-circuit
 dialer pool 1
 dialer remote-name R6-3640
 dialer watch-disable 10
 dialer string 5100
 dialer watch-group 10
 pulse-time 0

The called router:

interface BRI1/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 ip ospf demand-circuit
 dialer pool-member 1
 isdn switch-type basic-ni
 isdn spid1 5101 5100
 isdn spid2 5102 5100
 no peer neighbor-route
 no cdp enable
 ppp authentication chap
 ppp multilink

interface Dialer0
 ip address 172.16.224.6 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 1
 dialer remote-name R5-2621
 dialer idle-timeout 0
 dialer string 5200
 dialer load-threshold 1 either

The idle-timer on called side is 0 to prevent it from dropping the line. But I
found the calling side keep dropping the line when the idle timer pass and the
line is up again because of dialer watch.
If I set the idle timeout to 0, the line is not drop even the watched route
appear in the route table, even the watch-disable timer pass.

The following is the sh dialer from the calling router, the routed route is in
the route table.

R5-2621#sh dialer

BRI0/0 - dialer type = ISDN

Dial String Successes Failures Last DNIS Last status
0 incoming call(s) have been screened.
0 incoming call(s) rejected for callback.

BRI0/0:1 - dialer type = ISDN
Idle timer (never), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is multilink member
Interface bound to profile Di0
Current call connected 00:29:04
Connected to 5100 (R6-3640)

BRI0/0:2 - dialer type = ISDN
Idle timer (never), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is data link layer up
Dial reason: Dialing on watched route loss
Interface bound to profile Di0
Current call connected 00:29:04
Connected to 5100 (R6-3640)

Di0 - dialer type = DIALER PROFILE
Idle timer (never), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is data link layer up
Number of active calls = 2

Dial String Successes Failures Last DNIS Last status
5100 15 0 00:29:12 successful Default

Thank you.
