Hi John,

Here's how I understand this issue.

A dialer map command is like a frame relay map command in that it provides
layer 3 to layer 2 address resolution.

In the case of isdn, the phone # at the end of the dialer map command can be
thought of as a layer 2 address. Therefore, if you leave that # off the
dialer map command, how can the router know where to send ping replies?

I suspect that if you run "debug ip packet" on that router, you will see a
message "encap failed" meaning the router doesn't know where to send the
reply.

AFAIK, there are 2 ways to prevent a rtr from calling another rtr when using
dialer map commands:

A) Don't use the dialer-group # command.
b) Don't define interesting traffic.

If either of these things are NOT included then that router can't initiate a
call to the other router, but it can respond.

HTH, Tim
