Title: Configuring ISDN


1
Configuring ISDN
2
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
  • Conceived as a means of replacing the PSTN with
    an all digital network
  • Although more successful in other parts of the
    world, ISDN has never achieved a high level of
    adoption

3
Standards
  • E-Series
  • Telephone network standards (e.g. E.163
    International telephone numbering plan)
  • I-Series
  • Concepts, terminology and general methods (e.g.
    I.100 General ISDN concepts, structures, and
    terminology)
  • Q-Series
  • Switching and signaling operation (e.g. Q.921
    LAPD ISDN data link processes or Q.931 OSI
    Layer 3 functions of ISDN)

4
ISDN Channels
  • D Channel
  • Operate at 16 or 64 Kbps
  • Used for network signaling
  • B Channel
  • Operate at 64 Kbps (DS-0)
  • H Channel
  • H0 384 Kbps, H1 1.536 Mbps, H2 1.92 Mbps

5
ISDN Services
  • Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
  • 2 B Channels 1 D Channel (2BD)
  • Up to 128 Kbps (sometimes up to 144 Kbps)
  • Primary Rate Interface (PRI)
  • Usually 23 B Channels 1 (64 Kbps) D Channel
    (23BD)
  • Up to 1.544 Mbps

6
Function Groups
  • Terminal Equipment 1 (TE1)
  • ISDN compatible DTE
  • Router with a BRI interface
  • Terminal Equipment 2 (TE2)
  • Non-ISDN compatible DTE
  • Router without a BRI interface
  • Network Terminal Adapter (TA)
  • ISDN Modem used to connected non-ISDN compatible
    device (TE2) to ISDN network
  • Network Termination Type 1 and 2 (NT1 or NT2)
  • Terminate ISDN local loop at customer premise

7
Reference Points
  • R between non-ISDN equipment (TE2) and a TA
  • Usually a physical layer connection like TIA/EIA
    232 or V.35
  • S between router and an NT2 device
  • T between NT1 and NT2 devices
  • When no NT2 is present then the S and T reference
    points are combined into the S/T reference point
  • U between NT1 device and carriers DCE
  • Outside North America the NT1 is provided by the
    carrier so the U reference point is irrelevant

The U reference point is only relevant in North
America
When no NT2 is used then the CPE-to-carrier
interface is called an S/T interface
9
Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs)
  • SPIDs may or may not be required by the carrier
  • Less common outside North America
  • SPIDs identify the setup and configuration
    information of an ISDN BRI

10
Encapsulation
  • ISDN uses HDLC by default but can use PPP or LAPD
  • PPP should be used for its superior
    authentication, compression and mutliprotocol
    support
  • Multilink PPP allows combining D channels

11
Configuring Multilink PPP
  • Dialer-map command associates remote IP addresses
    (next hop) with ISDN LDNs for making outgoing
    calls
  • Dial load-threshold command indicates what
    percentage of bandwidth triggers bringing up an
    additional link

Dial-on-Demand Routing
  • DDR allows a router to establish a connection on
    a switched network only when interesting traffic
    needs to be transmitted
  • Connection remains open as long as there is
    interesting traffic or until a idle timer expires
  • Uninteresting traffic is only transmitted if the
    connection is already established and there is no
    interesting traffic to transmit

15
Dynamic or Static Routing
  • Dynamic routing has the disadvantage that routing
    updates will bring up the connection
    periodically
  • Static routing has the disadvantage that the
    router will not be able to determine when the
    connection is not available
  • If using static routes to connect to a central
    cite that uses dynamic routing you must
    redistribute static routes

Router RIP network 172.168.1.0 redistribute
static
16
Specifying Interesting Traffic
  • Interesting traffic is specified with a dialer
    list

dialer list ltnumbergt protocol ltprotocolgt
ltpermitdenylist access-list-numbergt Example
allows all IP traffic dialer list 1 protocol IP
permit interface BRI0 dialer-group 1
17
Controlling Connection
  • A map command for each protocol and destination
    must be specified
  • A threshold for establishing additional
    connections must be established if multilink PPP
    is used

dialer map ltprotocolgt ltaddressgt name lthostnamegt
broadcast ltLDNgt
dialer load-threshold lt1-255gt ltinboundoutboundei

18
Controlling Connection
  • The idle timer must be set

Dialer Profiles
  • A dialer profile is a logical interface that is
    bound to the physical BRI interface when a call
    is made
  • Dialer profiles dont use static dialer maps, the
    dialer map is created dynamically
  • The physical interface is assigned to a dialer
    pool
