configure e1 backup link open original image

We are in the process of setting up a remote site. We are using BT to provide a point to point leased line and an ISDN30 PRI at both sites. Only 15 of the E1 channels will be enabled. We are using cisco 2800 routers with a single port serial wic card and a single port ISDN PRI network module in each. The PRI link is to be used as a backup in case of serial link failure I would appreciate detailed advice and guidance on the following:-


1) how to configure /enable the E1 controller (given that it is provided by BT and we are only using =BD of the channels)
2) How to set up the interfaces so that the router will automatically fail over to the PRI link

Thanks

just do it for pri instead of bri

this is another example pretty close for what you want

cheers!

I'd recommend that you use PPP on your leased E1, and configure dialer watch to watch the host route to the peer router's address. Use a dialer profile to make the PRI calls, with dialer max-call 15 configured on it.

This config will give you the idea ... Configuring BRI ISDN Backup With Dialer Watch
