All,
 
Can anyone explain what exactly the "name" keyword for the dialer map statement is used for?
 
I know that you must have it for PPP callback. However I noticed that including the keyword breaks a scenario that I would not think it would.
 
For example if you ONLY want one side of a BRI to dial. So you omit the dialer string on the dialer map for the side that should NOT dial to accomplish this. When the dialer map has the name keyword, but no dial string, and an incoming call comes in, the connection is established but there are encapsulation failures back towards the calling router.
 
If you do not use the name keyword then the scenario works fine. Anyone know why this causes problems?
 
R1
dialer map ip 1.1.1.2 name R2 broadcast XXXXXXX
and
R2
dialer map ip 1.1.1.1 name R1 broadcast
