ISDN Commands

ISDN Commands

This chapter describes the commands available to configure your router for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) operations.

For ISDN configuration information and examples, refer to the chapter entitled "Configuring ISDN" in the Router Products Configuration Guide.

For information about the Channel Interface Processor (CIP), see the chapter entitled "IBM Channel Attach Commands" in this manual. The CIP is described in a separate chapter because of the interrelation of host system configuration values and router configuration values.

For hardware technical descriptions, and for information about installing the router interfaces, refer to the hardware installation and maintenance publication for your particular product.

dialer outgoing

To configure the dialer map class for an NSF dialing plan to support outgoing calls, use the dialer outgoing map-class dialer configuration command.

dialer outgoing classname
Syntax Description
classname Keyword for a specified AT&T Primary-4ESS NSF dialing plan; the following keywords are supported: sdn, megacomm, and accunet.
Default

This command is disabled; no classname is provided.

Command Mode

Map-class dialer configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Use this command only to define a dialer map class for an NSF call-by-call service offered by AT&T on Primary-4ESS ISDN switches. This command is not used for other vendors and switch types.

Example

The following partial example shows a class called sdn to support the Software Defined Network (SDN) dialing plan. For a more complete example using all the related commands, see the map-class dialer command.

dialer voice-call

To configure the dialer map class for an NSF dialing plan to support outgoing voice calls, use the dialer voice-call map-class dialer command.

dialer voice-call
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments and keywords.

Default

This command is disabled.

Command Mode

Map-class dialer configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

map-class dialer

To define a class of shared configuration parameters for outgoing calls from an ISDN interface, use the map-class dialer global configuration command.

map-class dialer classname
Syntax Description
classname Unique class identifier.
Default

Disabled; no class name is provided.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The classname in the map-class dialer command used to specify the class must be the same as a classname used in a dialer map command.

This command is used to define classes of calls for PPP callback for DDR, for ISDN Advice of Charge, and for NSF call-by-call dialing plans.

For NSF call-by-call support on ISDN Primary-4ESS switches only, use one of the dialing-plan keywords listed in Table 1.


Table  1: NSF Keywords and Supported Services
Keyword NSF Dialing Plan Data Voice International
sdnplan SDN Yes Yes GSDN (Global SDN)
megaplan MEGACOMM No Yes Yes
accuplan ACCUNET Yes Yes Yes
Example

The following example configures the PPP callback server on an ISDN BRI interface on a router in Atlanta. The callback server requires an enable timeout and a map class to be defined.

interface BRI0
 ip address 7.1.1.7 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer callback-secure
 dialer enable-timeout 2

interface bri

To configure a Basic Rate Interface (BRI) interface and enter interface configuration mode, use the interface bri global configuration command.

interface bri number

To configure a BRI subinterface, use the following form of the interface bri global configuration command.

interface bri number.subinterface-number [multipoint | point-to-point]
Syntax Description
number Port, connector, or interface card number. The numbers are assigned at the factory at the time of installation or when added to a system, and can be displayed with the show interfaces command.
.subinterface-number Subinterface number in the range 1 to 4294967293. The number that precedes the period (.) must match the number this subinterface belongs to.
multipoint | point-to-point (Optional) Specifies a multipoint or point-to-point subinterface. The default is multipoint.
Default

The default mode for subinterfaces is multipoint.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Subinterfaces can be configured to support partially meshed Frame Relay networks (refer to the "Configuring Frame Relay" chapter in the Router Products Configuration Guide).

Example

The following example configures BRI 0 to call and receive calls from two sites, use PPP encapsulation on outgoing calls, and use CHAP authentication on incoming calls.

interface bri 0
encapsulation ppp
no keepalive

show interfaces bri

isdn answer1, isdn answer2

To have the router verify a called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message for ISDN BRI calls, if the number is delivered by the switch, use the isdn answer1 interface configuration command. To remove the verification request, use the no form of this command.

isdn answer1 [called-party-number][:subaddress]
no isdn answer1
[called-party-number][:subaddress]

To have the router verify an additional called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message for ISDN BRI calls, if the number is delivered by the switch, use the isdn answer2 interface configuration command. To remove this second verification request, use the no form of this command.

isdn answer2 [called-party-number][:subaddress]
no isdn answer2
[called-party-number][:subaddress]
Syntax Description
called-party-number (Optional) Telephone number of the called party. At least one of the called-party-number or subaddress must be specified.
: Identifies the number that follows as a subaddress. Use the colon (:) when you configure both the called party number and the subaddress or when you configure only the subaddress.
subaddress (Optional) Subaddress number, 20 or fewer characters long, used for ISDN multipoint connections. At least one of the called-party-number or subaddress must be specified.
Default

The router does not verify the called-party or subaddress number.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If you do not specify the isdn answer1 or isdn answer2 command, all calls are processed/accepted. If you specify the isdn answer1 or isdn answer2 command, the router must verify the incoming called-party number and the subaddress before processing/accepting the call. The verification proceeds from right to left for the called-party number; it also proceeds from right to left for the subaddress number.

It is possible to configure just the called-party number or just the subaddress. In such a case, only that part is verified. To configure a subaddress only, include the colon (:) before the subaddress number.

You can declare a digit a "don't care" digit by configuring it as an "x" or "X". In such a case, any incoming digit is allowed.

Examples

In the following example, 5552222 is the called-party number and 1234 is the subaddress:

interface bri 0
isdn answer1 5552222:1234

In the following example, only the subaddress is configured:

interface bri 0
isdn answer1 :1234

isdn caller

To configure ISDN caller ID screening, use the isdn caller interface configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

isdn caller number
no isdn caller number
Syntax Description
number Telephone number for which to screen. Specify an "x" to represent a single "don't-care" character. The maximum length of each number is 25 characters.
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command configures the router to accept calls from the specified number.

Caller ID screening is available on Cisco routers with one or more ISDN BRI or PRI interfaces.

The maximum length of each number is 25 characters. You can specify up to 64 numbers per interface.


Note Caller ID screening requires a local switch that is capable of delivering the caller ID to the router. If you enable caller ID screening but do not have such a switch, no calls will be allowed in.
Examples

The following example configures the router to accept a call with a delivered caller ID equal to 4155551234:

isdn caller 4155551234

The following example configures the router to accept a call with a delivered caller ID having 41555512 and any numbers in the last two positions:

isdn caller 41555512xx
Related Command

A dagger (+) indicates that the command is documented in another chapter.

isdn calling-number

To configure an Australian basic-ts013 ISDN BRI interface to present a billing number of the device making the outgoing call, use the isdn calling-number interface configuration command. To remove a previously configured calling number, use the no form of this command.

isdn calling-number calling-number
no isdn calling number
Syntax Description
calling-number Number of the device making the outgoing call; only one entry is allowed and it is limited to 16 digits.
Default

No calling number is presented.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

An interface can have only one ISDN calling-number entry.

This command is intended for use only in Australia because the Australian network offers better pricing on calls in which devices present the calling number (that is, the billing number).

This command can be used only with Australian basic-ts013 switch types.

Example

In the following example, the ISDN BRI interface is configured to present the number 5551212 when it makes outgoing calls:

interface bri 0
isdn calling-number 5551212
Related Command

interface bri

isdn leased-line

To configure a Basic Rate Interface (BRI) interface to use the ISDN physical connection as a leased-line service, use the isdn leased-line command.

isdn leased-line bri number
no isdn leased-line bri number
Syntax Description
bri number BRI interface number. When configured as a leased line, each B channel has an interface associated with it and can be displayed with the show interfaces command. The possible values are 0 to the maximum number of BRI interfaces, minus one, on the router. The D channel is represented by the normal BRI interface BRI0. The B interfaces are named after the original BRI interface with a colon and the B channel number. For example, BRI0:2 is the second B channel on the first BRI interface.
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to utilize the telephone company service that uses the ISDN physical connection as a leased-line service including the D64S (Digital 64S) in Germany and the I-Interface support in Japan. On leased-line ISDN, you must specify a switch type.

Example

The following example configures a leased-line ISDN interface:

router#conf t
router(config)#isdn leased-line
BRI ISDN Basic Rate Interface
router(config)#isdn leased bri?
<0-7> BRI interface number
router(config)#isdn Leased bri0
router(config)#exit
Related Command

show interfaces bri

isdn not-end-to-end

For incoming calls, to override the speed that the network reports it will use to deliver the call data, use the isdn not-end-to-end interface configuration command.

isdn not-end-to-end {56 | 64}
Command Syntax
56 | 64 Line speed used for incoming calls that are not ISDN from end to end.
Default

The default line speed is 64 kbps.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful when calls originate at 56 kbps, but the network delivers the calls as 64 kbps calls. If calls originate at one speed and are delivered at another, a speed mismatch occurs and no data can be transferred.

A speed mismatch can occur when the source and destination ISDN ports do not belong to the same network.

Example

In the following example, the line speed for incoming calls is set to 56 kbps:

isdn not-end-to-end 56

isdn spid1

Use the isdn spid1 interface configuration command to define at the router the service profile identifier (SPID) number that has been assigned by the ISDN service provider for the B1 channel. Use the no form of this command to disable the specified SPID, thereby preventing access to the switch. If you include the LDN in the no form of this command, the access to the switch is permitted, but the other B-channel may not be able to receive incoming calls.

isdn spid1 spid-number [ldn]
no isdn spid1
spid-number [ldn]
Syntax Description
spid-number Number identifying the service to which you have subscribed. This value is assigned by the ISDN service provider and is usually a ten-digit telephone number with some extra digits.
ldn (Optional) Local directory number, as delivered by the service provider in the incoming setup message. This is a seven-digit number assigned by the service provider.
Default

No SPID number is defined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is required for DMS-100 and National ISDN-1 (NI-1) switches only.

You must define the LDN if you want to receive any incoming calls on the B2-channel. The ISDN switch checks for the LDN to determine whether both channels can be used to transmit and receive data. If the LDN is not present, then only the B1-channel can be used for full-duplex communication. However, the other channel can still be used for making outgoing calls.

Example

The following example defines, on the router, a SPID and LDN for the B1 channel:

isdn spid1 415555121301 5551215

isdn spid2

Use the isdn spid2 interface configuration command to define at the router the SPID number that has been assigned by the ISDN service provider for the B2 channel. Use the no form of this command to disable the specified SPID, thereby preventing access to the switch. If you include the LDN in the no form of this command, the access to the switch is permitted, but the other B-channel might not be able to receive incoming calls.

isdn spid2 spid-number [ldn]
no isdn spid2
spid-number [ldn]
Syntax Description
spid-number Number identifying the service to which you have subscribed. This value is assigned by the ISDN service provider and is usually a ten-digit telephone number with some extra digits.
ldn (Optional) Local directory number, as delivered by the service provider in the incoming setup message. This is a seven-digit number also assigned by the service provider.
Default

No SPID number is defined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is required for DMS-100 and National ISDN-1 (NI-1) switches only.

You must define the LDN if you want to receive any incoming calls on the B1-channel. The ISDN switch checks for the LDN to determine whether both channels can be used to transmit and receive data. If the LDN is not present, then only the B2-channel can be used for full-duplex communication. However, the other channel can still be used for making outgoing calls.

Example

The following example defines, on the router, a SPID and LDN for the B2 channel:

isdn spid2 415555121202 5551214

isdn switch-type

To configure a central office switch on the ISDN interface, use the isdn switch-type global configuration command.

isdn switch-type switch-type
Syntax Description
switch-type Service provider switch type; see Table 10-1 for a list of supported switches.
Default

The switch type defaults to none, which disables the switch on the ISDN interface.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

To disable the switch on the ISDN interface, specify isdn switch-type none.

Table  10-4: Show Interfaces BRI Field Descriptions
Field Description
BRI ... is {up | down | administratively down Indicates whether the interface hardware is currently active (whether line signal is present) and if it has been taken down by an administrator.
line protocol
is {up | down |
administratively down}
Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol consider the line usable (that is, whether keepalives are successful).
Hardware is Hardware type.
Internet address is IP address and subnet mask, followed by packet size.
MTU Maximum Transmission Unit of the interface.
BW Bandwidth of the interface in kilobits per second.
DLY Delay of the interface in microseconds.
rely Reliability of the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is 100% reliability), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
load Load on the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
Encapsulation Encapsulation method assigned to interface.
loopback Indicates whether loopback is set or not.
keepalive Indicates whether keepalives are set or not.
Last input Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by an interface. Useful for knowing when a dead interface failed.
output Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by an interface.
output hang Number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because of a transmission that took too long. When the number of hours in any of the "last" fields exceeds 24 hours, the number of days and hours is printed. If that field overflows, asterisks are printed.
Output queue, drops
Input queue, drops
Number of packets in output and input queues. Each number is followed by a slash, the maximum size of the queue, and the number of packets dropped due to a full queue.
Five minute input rate
Five minute output rate
Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes.
packets input Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
bytes Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error free packets received by the system.
no buffer Number of received packets discarded because there was no buffer space in the main system. Compare with ignored count. Broadcast storms on Ethernets and bursts of noise on serial lines are often responsible for no input buffer events.
broadcasts Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
runts Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the medium's minimum packet size.
giants Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the medium's maximum packet size.
input errors Total number of no buffer, runts, giants, CRCs, frame, overrun, ignored, and abort counts. Other input-related errors can also increment the count, so this sum may not balance with the other counts.
CRC Cyclic redundancy checksum generated by the originating station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated from the data received. On a serial link, CRCs usually indicate noise, gain hits, or other transmission problems on the data link.
frame Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. On a serial line, this is usually the result of noise or other transmission problems.
overrun Number of times the serial receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data.
ignored Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to be increased.
abort Illegal sequence of one bits on a serial interface. This usually indicates a clocking problem between the serial interface and the data link equipment.
packets output Total number of messages transmitted by the system.
bytes Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, transmitted by the system.
underruns Number of times that the transmitter has been running faster than the router can handle. This may never be reported on some interfaces.
output errors Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the interface being examined. Note that this may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, as some datagrams may have more than one error, and others may have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
collisions Number of collisions. This could happen when you have several devices connected on a multiport line.
interface resets Number of times an interface has been completely reset. This can happen if packets queued for transmission were not sent within several seconds. On a serial line, this can be caused by a malfunctioning modem that is not supplying the transmit clock signal or by a cable problem. If the system notices that the carrier detect line of a serial interface is up, but the line protocol is down, it periodically resets the interface in an effort to restart it. Interface resets can also occur when an interface is looped back or shut down.
restarts Number of times the controller was restarted because of errors.
carrier transitions Number of times the carrier detect signal of a serial interface has changed state. Indicates modem or line problems if the carrier detect line is changing state often.

show isdn

To display the information about memory, Layer 2 and Layer 3 timers and, on the Cisco 7000 series only, to display information about the status of PRI channels, use the show isdn global configuration command.

show isdn {memory | timers | services}
Syntax Description
memory Displays memory pool statistics.This is only used by technical development staff.
timers Displays the values of Layer 2 and Layer 3 timers.
services Displays the status of PRI channels. (Cisco 7000 series only).
