RE: Using Dialer Profile as OSPF Demand-circuit

One common problem with OSPF demand circuits over dialer profiles with PPP
multilink is that the cost changes when one of the B-channels disconnects:

r4#sh ip ro os
O 172.31.2.1 [110/782] via 192.168.45.5, 00:00:20, Dialer1
r4#isdn test disc i b0/0 b1
00:30:204052918340: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0/0:1, changed state to down
r4#sh ip ro os
O 172.31.2.1 [110/1563] via 192.168.45.5, 00:00:01, Dialer1

Notice the cost went up when one B-channel went down. Because topology
changes are one of the things that can trigger OSPF demand circuit dialing,
this can keep the link up. Try setting a manual cost on the dialer profile:

r4(config-if)#ip ospf cost 9999
r4#sh ip ro ospf
O 172.31.2.1 [110/10000] via 192.168.45.5, 00:00:07, Dialer1
r4#isdn test disc i b0/0 b1
00:32:173988147268: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0/0:1, changed state to down
O 172.31.2.1 [110/10000] via 192.168.45.5, 00:00:52, Dialer1

Now the cost is staying the same...

Subject: Using Dialer Profile as OSPF Demand-circuit
Hi all,

Here's a problem I met when using ISDN Dialer Profile for OSPF
demand-circuit, It was:

There are two router running OSPF with a serial interface and a BRI
interface. Running AREA 0 between Serials and a virtual link area between
BRIs, When I using the Phycisal BRI interface with the Demand-circuit
function, It works well, But when I use the Dialer profile with the PPP
Multilink, the ISDN link keeps up and down. I debug ip ospf hello, there's
no hello packet pass the Dialer OR BRI interface, but the dial reason is
"s="my ip add, d=224.0.0.5". Anybody could tell me why?

Thanks

Ben
