Hi,

Is there a way to test if reliable link is ok?

This is the only message I get, from debug ppp negotiation:

*Mar 1 20:45:48: BR3/0:1 LCP: ReliableLink window 7 addr 0 (0x0B040700)

This is the config:

interface Dialer25
 ip address 148.5.24.2 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 25
 dialer remote-name Rack2R4
 dialer idle-timeout 10
 dialer string 8358662
 dialer-group 1
 compress stac
 no cdp enable
 ppp reliable-link
 ppp authentication chap
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink links minimum 2 mandatory

It is configure just on this site. Remote site has this:

interface Dialer25
 ip address 148.5.24.4 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 25
 dialer remote-name Rack2R2
 dialer idle-timeout 0
 dialer string 8358661
 dialer-group 1
 compress stac
 no cdp enable
 ppp authentication chap
 ppp multilink

If I configure 'reliable-link' on both sides, connectivity does not occurs.

And there is this note on Cisco doc:

===================
Restrictions
PPP reliable link does not work with Multilink PPP.

PPP reliable link is not available on asynchronous serial interfaces, including ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI interfaces
=================

Do you have experience with reliable link to confirm it?
