4.2 ISDN Configuration  
  4.2.4 Troubleshooting the ISDN configuration  
The following commands are used to debug and troubleshoot the ISDN configuration:
  • The debug isdn q921 command shows data link layer, or Layer 2, messages on the D channel between the router and the ISDN switch. Use this command if the show isdn status command does not show Layer 1 as ACTIVE and Layer 2 as MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED.
  • The debug isdn q931 command shows the exchange of call setup and teardown messages of the Layer 3 ISDN connection.
    The
    debug ppp authentication command displays the PPP authentication protocol messages, including Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) packet exchanges and Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) exchanges.
  • The debug ppp negotiation command displays information on PPP traffic and exchanges while the PPP components are negotiated. This includes LCP, authentication, and NCP exchanges. A successful PPP negotiation will first open the LCP state, then authenticate, and finally negotiate NCP.
  • The debug ppp error command displays protocol errors and error statistics associated with PPP connection negotiation and operation. Use the debug ppp commands to troubleshoot a Layer 2 problem if the show isdn status command does not indicate an ISDN problem.
