Hi Folks,

A generic question here.

At a remote site I recently had a BRI issue for a Cisco Call manager
(4.1) Voice to PSTN Gateway where INBOUND PSTN ==> Router calls would
NOT succeed, the PSTN reported "number not available" to the caller,
but OUTBOUND Router ==> PSTN calls would work fine. Extensive REALOADS
of the Router prodced no change to the symptom, HOWEVER I eventually
discovered that a CLEAR BRIxxx command entered immediately following a
RELOAD, would fully restore INBOUND PSTN ==> Router calls (IE normal
service). This particular environment had been running with few issues
for over 2 years.

Does anyone know why a CLEAR command is required after a RELOAD, to
FULLY reset a BRI interface?

I can post H/W and IOS info if this issue is specific to a platform or
IOS. I am wondering if it might actually be an ISDN Switch issue at
the local exchange and not an IOS or H/W issue?

Cheers................pk.
