The trouble here is modem isn't answer the incomming call, modem Auto Answer turned on already. Reverse telnet to modem worked well, i can use AT command, did reseting to factory default, turn on AA and other settings, modem are Hayes Accura V.92 (http://www.hayes.co.uk), router is Cisco-2511, following are information issued by show version command :

I am in a boring world now, this is not first time I meet this trouble...

hi,

bạn thử turn-on debug lên, capture output và post it here.

#debug dialer
#debug ppp authentication
#debug ppp negotiation

Ngoài ra, bạn có thể đặt interface Group-Async về dedicated mode:

# async mode dedicated

let me know asap,

[chairuou]

OK, I am do it immediatly, hope you still here ...
btw...I am aliosha on routerie.com, are you remember ?

[chairuou]

I did it but it isn't show up anything on console screen , what i need to do now ?

Try this and lemme know.....

man, it still doesn't answer and don't show up any debug info.

[dangquangminh]

okay,

first, these debug commands pop up messages to the console if you try to dial to the router. So make sure you turn on these command and try to dial to the access-server.

Here's a check-list for you:

1. Did you turn-on the modem?
2. Can you reverse-telnet to the modem?
3. From the modem, can you dial outside by using the modem atdt command.
For example:
atz
atdt xxxxx
4. Try debug modem and show the output.
5. Use local database for authencation first. I mean:

#no aaa new-model
6. Did you access to the router via console or telnet? Output of the debug commands should be on the console.
7. What did you use to dial to the access-server? From a workstation or from another router?

I will come back soon,

Surely !

2. Can you reverse-telnet to the modem?

I can and also authenticated with local users database ( with AAA enabled )

3. From the modem, can you dial outside by using the modem atdt command.
For example:
atz
atdt xxxxx

Work well

4. Try debug modem and show the output.

I issued 'debug modem' command and it only show router trying to discovery modem configuration from TTY5 to TTY16. noted here, I just have 4 modem but only 1 phone line pluged to TTY1 already ( 4 modems pluged in to router from TTY1 to TTY4)

5. Use local database for authencation first. I mean:
#no aaa new-model

Before enbale AAA i successded with local authen via telnet

6. Did you access to the router via console or telnet? Output of the debug commands should be on the console.

I used both console and telnet

7. What did you use to dial to the access-server? From a workstation or from another router?

I used win2k client to dial, use phone to make a call, bot of us won't work

This router will serve dialup users ( client OSes are Window98/Me/XP/2k)

Thanks,

[sinhvienngheo]

okay okay,

Để em đóng case này lại giúp anh Minh.

1. Theo chairuou mô tả thì kết nối từ router đến modem là ok. Do chairuou có thể thực hiện reversetelnet.
2. Quá trình authentication trước khi dùng aaa là ok. Do đó problem nằm ở chổ cấu hình aaa sai.
3. Anh chairuou cho biết là anh có thể telnet vào router dùng aaa. Do đó anh kết luận cấu hình aaa của anh là đúng. Kết luận này là không chính xác. PPP authentication ppp được xem là một service khác của AAA (có khoảng 5 loại service).
Đây là một cấu hình cho anh chairuou:

router# aaa authentication ppp dialup radius local
router# aaaa authentication login admins local
router#line 1 16
router(config-line)# auto select ppp
router(config-line)#autoselect during-login
router(config-line)#login authentication admins
router(config-line)#interface group-async 1
router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp

router(config-if)# ppp authen ppp dialup

Vậy, anh chairuou thử lại cấu hình AAA như trên nhé. Các cấu hình cho phần line đừng thay đổi.

Chúc anh thành công,

[chairuou]

anyway thank, I resolve my prob.
sinhvienngheo : trouble not is aaa, and config you show me here just for ppp authen, relook my 1st config above, that config use local authen for login service & ppp and my question is MODEM INS'T ANSWER THE INCOMMING CALL not AUTHENTICATION.

Last time, after did some check with callin and out via phone, I addressed the problem is phone line has trouble, after call post office to fix that, I've finished my work
Thanks you !
