Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router in a RAN-O Solution with the Command-Line

Configuration Sequence

Step 6

Enable keepalive packets on the interface and specify the number of times the keepalive packets will be
sent without a response before bringing down the interface.

Router(config-if)# keepalive [

period]

Where period is an optional integer value in seconds greater than 0. The default is 10.

For example, the following command indicates the number of times the keepalive packets will be sent
as 1:

Router(config-if)# keepalive 1

Extended Availability Drop and Insert (EADI)

EADI capabilities must be disabled on the Cisco 3825 router (using the disable-eadi global
configuration command) to avoid a double-termination situation upon router reboot when the
Cisco 3825 router is being used in a redundant configuration.

To disable EADI, follow these steps, while in the global configuration mode:

Step 1

Disable EADI.

Router(config)# disable eadi

Configuring GSM-Abis Links

Note

The following is an example of configuring an E1 on the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card in a
Cisco 3825 router.

Use the following instructions to perform a basic Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM)-Abis configuration on the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card located in the Cisco 3825
router, by entering the following Cisco IOS commands at the router prompt (see the

“Understanding the

Cisco 3825 Router Interface Numbering” section on page 3-1

for information about slot and port

numbering on the Cisco 3825 router). You might also need to enter other configuration commands,
depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the
interface.

Note

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time,
you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the

Router#

prompt.

To configure the GSM-Abis attributes, follow these steps while in the global configuration mode:

Step 1

Set the card type for the Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card.
