Consider this. I have 2 2610's, each with a WIC-1DSU T-1 card in them. I have these T-1's connected back to back. I have tried putting IP addreses, using encap ppp, and everything works cool, exactly the way I would expect it to work. So I know the cards and the cable and all that are working fine. Now, I want to try to have the T-1 interfaces invoked via Dialer interfaces. Why? Because eventually I want to get 2 more of these T-1 cards, and install one in each (so each router has 2 of them) and then run ppp multilink where I bond the 2 T-1's together to form a 3 Mb pipe. But I just cannot do it. Specifically, I have tried various ways to get the Dialer interface to bond to the T-1's (Serial 0/0). It never works. For example, I create rotary groups. It doesn't work. Then I try dialer pools. It also doesn't work. Everything I have tried doesn't work. For example, if I try to use dialer pools, then the router demands a dialer string. So I give it a dialer string. The Dialer interface then apparently tries to dial this string, which of couse fails because in a back2back T-1, there is nothing to dial. So if I try a rotary group, somehow the dialer interface never properly seizes the T-1. Instead I get an error like this, whatever the heck it means: r1#ping 192.168.20.2 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.20.2, timeout is 2 seconds: ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) r1# 01:25:59: Se0/0 DDR: rotor dialout [priority] 01:26:01: Se0/0 DDR: rotor dialout [priority] 01:26:03: Se0/0 DDR: rotor dialout [priority] 01:26:05: Se0/0 DDR: rotor dialout [priority] 01:26:07: Se0/0 DDR: rotor dialout [priority] OK, now I have seen several CCO examples (for example the examples on PPP multilink) where they put a serial interface (not an ISDN or an async int, but an actual serial interface) under a Dialer interface. But what can I say, it has never worked for me, not once. The only thing that can I can think of is that all those CCO examples use 2500's, whereas I got 2600's here. But it shouldn't matter (or should it?). So, has anybody (especially somebody with a 2600 with a T-1 WIC)ever successfully put a serial interface under a Dialer interface and gotten them to bond correctly ? If so, could you shoot me a config?
