Configuration procedure

  1. Configure Router A:

    # Configure the dialing parameters on ISDN BRI interface.

    <RouterA> system-view
    [RouterA] interface bri 2/0
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] ip address 202.38.154.1 255.255.0.0
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] dialer enable-circular
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] dialer route ip 202.38.154.2 8810154
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] dialer-group 1
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] quit
    [RouterA] dialer-rule 1 ip permit
    

    # Configure ISDN NI protocol parameters to make the B channel of BRI interface support static SPID value, and set the negotiation message to be resent twice when no reply exists.

    [RouterA] interface bri 2/0
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] isdn protocol-type ni
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] isdn spid1 12345
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] isdn spid2 23456
    [RouterA-Bri2/0] isdn spid resend 2
    
  2. Configure Router B:

    Follow the same procedures to configure Router B.
