I think that it is always a good idea to use "dialer idle-timeout 0" on
the other side of
a DIALER WATCH configured ISDN line. Dialer watch works without
interesting traffic. So it will
keep the line up, even if there is no interesting traffic. If the other
side is defined with
a dialer-list command, this side is always going to tear down the line
after (default) 120 seconds.
Immediatly afterwords, R1 brings the line back up..for another 120
seconds....

Hi,

Here is the scenario:

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

IS-IS is running on the network. Backup interface or dial watch is
configured on R1.

To prevent R2 initiate a call, R2's BRI is configured without
"dialer-group" command.

The question is: do I need "dialer idle-timeout 0" on R2?

I think we have to do it.

The reason why we have to put "dialer idle-timeout 0" on the R2's BRI is
that without interesting traffic specified (no dialer-group on it),
during ISDN active it will disconnect every 120 seconds even though
IS-IS is configured on the other side.

Am I right?

Thanks in advance
