[cisco-voip] Scripting ATM Interface Resets

[Jason Aarons (AM)]

I'd keep opening trouble tickets with the telco non-stop make them replace the equipment and path cabling until it's fixed.

Your idea for EEM trigger was my first suggestion.

In my experience DSL on a  IOS router is a mess and I'd be looking at alternate solutions, but  I suspect since your still on DSL that none exist.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Scripting ATM Interface Resets


Hello,
I have couple sites where the connectivity is legacy ADSL, and once in a while we have a situation where something happens on the telco network and all our analogs go to shit but the interface doesnt actually go down but rather just starts incrementing the error count like crazy. In these situations usually a physical disconnect/reconnect of the line or a restarted of the router clears it and the ADSL syncs back up clean.
This is sometimes tough not always having someone local who can do the manual reset and of course I'd prefer a more automated solution. In this scenario the cost of a second out of band connection is not really practical either.
I was thinking that maybe I could do this with an IP SLA and/or EEM script and do something like when IP SLA fails I could trigger a shut/no shut on the physical ATM int to force the DSL to drop and then resync.
Has anyone ever done anything like this, and particularly with ADSL? I am just looking for insight from people who either have tried this, are running this or something like it and what their experiences were.

Thanks
chris
