- I would like to get our CGS 3 router to accept X25 calls for 2 addresses.
-
- I was working on this when we upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0(1) today.
-
- In the 8.2 config I had an X25 route phrase like this:
-
- x25 route ^23421234567890 alias Null0
-
- To be frank, I do not know if this does what I want, because I had not
- tested it before the new PROMS arrived. However it is a bit academic,
- as (from my experimentation) 9.0(1) will not accept the null interface
- in an X25 route command. I get told "Must be running X.25 - Null0" -
- fair enough, but 8.2 didn't complain!
-
- What I would like to do is to set up the router to accept calls that
- are addressed to an X121 number other than that applied to the serial
- interfaces, I understood from the manual that this is what the "alias"
- clause would do. But if I cannot give the null interface, what
- interface should I use? What does the interface name mean when an
- alias is specified? Is it for calls that come in that interface only,
- or is the call sent back to that interface? Or does the call appear to
- come from that interface?
-
- In case anyone from Cisco says that I should ask them, I should say
- that our local UK technical support people cannot help, and asking the
- net seemed like the next quickest route. But in case anyone is
- interested; it is my view that the manual (including the 9.0 manual)
- is a little vague on this point.
