Basic Rate Interface (BRI)

This was set up in a lab enviroment using an Adtran Atlas 550 to simulate WAN connection. This will document configuring an ISDN BRI connection with dial-on-demand routing (DDO), RIP routing over ISDN, and B channel aggragation.

Configuring BRI

  1. Basic Router Configuration
  2. Configure the router to use the approiate ISDN switch types,
    • This configuration uses the basic-ni switch type. To learn about the other switch type go to ISDN Switch Types
    • Router(config)# isdn switch-type type
  3. Use Dialer List to identifiy intresting traffic
    • Router(config)# dialer-list dialer-group-number protocol protocol-name permit | deny | list access-list-numeber
  4. Configure BRI Interface with encapsulation and authentication settings
    • Router(config)# interface interface-number
    • Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address subnet-mask
    • Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
    • Router(config-if)# ppp authentication chap
  5. Congigure a service profile identifier (SPID)
    • Router(config-if)# isdn spid spid-number local-dial-number
  6. Set the Dialer Idle Timeout
    • The dialer idle timeout defualts to 120 seconds. It may need to be changed to a lower value to avoid excesive call charges.
    • Router(config-if)# dialer idle-timeout seconds
  7. Associate the interface to the already created dialer-list
    • Router(config-if)# dialer-group dialer-group-number
  8. Configure the Dialer Map
    • The dialer map tells the interface what to do with interesting traffic
    • You do not need to enable broadcasts if your routing protocol does not need broadcast.
    • The dial string is the destination telephone number.
    • Router(config-if)# dialer map protocol next-hop-address name hostname [broadcast] dial-string
