Danny,
 
Some questions
1) What if both routers can initiate ISDN calls ?
2) Understand that dialer-watch itself is an interesting traffic. But if we
don't deny OSPF hello, won't it always kick up the line ? I just want to
know if it is a MUST to either remove the dialer-group or deny OSPF/EIGRP
hello when using dialer-watch together.
 
rgds,

I would say configure Dialer-Watch only on the calling router. Only the
calling router needs to have this configured.

As far as the OSPF hello's, it shouldn't't matter. Dialer-Watch is watching
for the loss of a route. That is the "interesting" traffic, not IP traffic.
I have tested dialer-watch with no dialer-group configured on the BRI or
Dialer interface. It works fine. Try it.

HTH,
Danny

Hi group,

R1 ---- ISDN ------ R2
 | |
 |----------FR-----------|

Both R1 and R2 can make ISDN calls and the topology is running OSPF. My
question is if dialer-watch is used to watch the remote loopback, is it
necessary

1) to configure dialer-watch on both routers ?
2) deny ospf hello in the dialer-list for BOTH routers ?
