RE: ISDN problem

Since you are not doing any authentication, this is exactly correct.

When you ping from R4, the line will go up, because R4 knows where to send
to and where to go. So the packet goes to R5.

R5 looks at the incoming ICMP and tries to respond, but needs to look at
where to send it. It sees a dialer map, but that gives noplace to go.

If you were running CHAP, then the name part would actually correlate (see
"show dialer" output). Until that time though, you'll need a phone number
to give it some way to say "Oh, I'm already connected to that guy!" and send
the packet back.

HTH,

Scott

Hi Simon,

Had this EXACT problem yesterday. This should work, according to my
understanding. However, the only way I could get it to work is to add the
dialer string to the R5 router, thus breaking the requirement you mention.

However, if you then go on and configure PPP encapsulation and
authentication on the interface, you can remove the dialer string.

I think its related to R5 not knowing what to do with the traffic, even
though there is only one configured interface and the debug shows it being
sent to this Interface. Once you configure authentication, the router can
map the traffic to the interface using the hostname of the calling router
