Practical Exercise 6-1: Dialing Out with ISDN

This configuration has an AS5300 with four PRIs to allow Async and ISDN outbound connections, as shown in Figure 6-7. It can support 96 modem calls or a large number of ISDN calls. Static dialer maps are configured on the dialing side for each ISDN/Async connection. Static IP routes are used at both ends of the connection to avoid the unnecessary overhead of a dynamic routing protocol. Adding a remote location would require the addition of a dialer map, a username, and a static route for the new destination on the dialing side. All remote nodes have fixed IP addresses.

Your configuration should include the following:

• The PRI switch type, framing, and line coding

• The usernames and passwords of all the remote nodes you will be dialing into

• The IP addressing scheme
