Introduction To ISDN, Part II

Filed under: Technology — admin @ 5:44 am

In the previous ISDN article, we looked at how and why one router dials another using ISDN. Just as important is knowing what keeps the link up once it is dialed.

Why? Because ISDN acts as a phone call between two routers, and it’s billed that way to your client. The two routers that are connected by this phone call may be located in different area codes, so now we’re talking about a long distance phone call.

If your ISDN link does not have a reason to disconnect, the connection could theoretically last for days or weeks before someone realizes what’s going on. This is particularly true when the ISDN link is used as a backup for another connection type, as is commonly the case with Frame Relay. When the Frame Relay goes down, the backup ISDN link comes up when the Frame Relay link comes back not billed for all that time.

To understand why an ISDN link stays up when it’s not needed, we have to understand why it stays up period. Cisco’s ISDN interfaces use the idle-timeout to determine when an ISDN link should be torn down. By default, this value is two minutes, and it also uses the concept of interesting traffic.

Once interesting traffic brings the link up, by default all traffic can cross the link. However, only interesting traffic resets the idle-timeout. If no interesting traffic crosses the link for two minutes, the idle-timer hits zero and the link comes down.

If the protocol running over the ISDN link is RIP version 2 or EIGRP, the most efficient way to prevent the routing updates from keeping the line up is expressly prohibiting their multicast routing update address in the access-list that is defining interesting traffic. Do not prevent them from crossing the link entirely, or the protocol obviously won’t work correctly.

With OSPF, Cisco offers the ip ospf demand-circuit interface-level command. The OSPF adjacency will form over the ISDN link, but once formed, the Hello packets will be suppressed. However, the adjacency will not be lost. A check of the adjacency table with show ip ospf adjacency will show the adjacency remains at Full, even though Hellos are no longer being sent across the link. The ISDN link can drop without the adjacency being lost. When the link is needed, the adjacency is still in place and data can be sent without waiting for OSPF to go through the usual steps of forming an adjacency.

This OSPF command is vital for Cisco certification candidates at every level, but is particularly important for CCNA candidates. Learn this command now, get used to the fact that the adjacency stays up even though Hellos are suppressed, and add this valuable command to your Cisco toolkit.

One myth about ISDN is that Cisco Discovery Packets keep an ISDN link up. CDP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that runs between directly connected Cisco devices. There is a school of thought that CDP packets have to be disabled on a BRI interface in order to prevent the link from staying up or dialing when it’s not really needed. I’ve worked with ISDN for years in the field and in the lab, and I’ve never seen CDP bring up an ISDN link. Try it yourself the next time you’re working on a practice rack!

Going Solo On Valentine’s Day: Advice For Singles

Filed under: Counseling — admin @ 12:47 am

The stores are decorated in candy hearts, flowers and bears.
Every TV or radio commercial reminds you that it’s time to
remember your sweetheart on this special day for lovers. Your
feelings range from sadness, to revulsion to anger. What’s a
single person to do? The following suggestions are designed to
both answer that question and to help you have a good day after
all, while working to make it your last solo one.

1. Celebrate the day by planning an activity that is meaningful
and enjoyable to you. Choose something that provides you with a
special treat. Go to a day spa for “the works”, plan an intimate
dinner for 3 or 4, go ice-skating or to the movies with a fun
friend, or go out to dinner and a movie with a group of other
singles. Focus on what you enjoy and make a conscious decision
about how to mark the day. Un-Valentines Day parties are very
popular and can be a lot of silly fun. You can attend one or
throw one of your own.

2. Design a relationship-building plan for 2003. Let the holiday
provide you with the motivation to take risks, try new ideas and
gain the knowledge that will enable you to find and create a
lasting, intimate relationship.

* Sit down at the computer or with pen and paper in hand and get
your plan written down. * Begin by making a list of resources
that can be used to help you meet available singles. These can
include: on-line dating sites, singles groups, volunteer
activities, or participation in sports or other activities that
you enjoy. * Decide when and how often you will participate in
any activity you have chosen. *Make a budget for both time and
available funds for this purpose. * Do your homework and
research each resource so the information will be available when
you need it.

3. Review those resolutions you made, or make some if you
haven’t yet. Think about what is really important to you. Remind
yourself that implementing and sticking to these will help
ensure that you are really ready for that special relationship.
Being the kind of person you want to be with is the first step.
Begin with concrete goals. For example: stick with a healthy
diet, exercise three times a week, plan one organizational task
per week, etc. Taking care of yourself and living well, will
optimize your chances for relationship success. Start today.

4. Work to eliminate negative thinking. When a negative thought
comes into your mind, take a moment to think about what is
beneath it. Then, tell yourself that thinking this way is not
good for you. Make a decision to drop the thought and try to
think of something (anything) that is positive. It can be as
simple as focusing on what a beautiful day it is outside, to
feeling grateful that you survived the current wave of lay-offs
in your company. Use this technique for situations as well. Ask
yourself how you can view the situation differently. Try to find
one positive angle or outcome that could result from an
otherwise bad situation. For example, you are being laid off
from your job. You have been unhappy for a long time, but could
not motivate yourself to do anything about it. Now, you have the
motivation to look for a new job, or perhaps change careers.
Think of all the possibilities that could open up for you.

Negative thinking is a downward spiral that leads to negative
behavior and possibly depression. Consciously choose to
challenge these thoughts, and empower yourself with a more
positive outlook and approach to life.

Hopefully these tips will assist you in having a better “solo”
Valentine’s Day than you might have been headed for. Enjoy the
day by doing something fun. Then focus on your relationship plan
and empower yourself to build the healthy, lasting relationship
of your dreams.
