[c-nsp] Dial Backup

[Montes, Carlos M]

That is definitely doable.  I guess I would not mind doing that as long as it can be scheduled, and if the line fails we get some kind of SNMP message or the like, so that our NOC folks get an automatic alarm.  Is this possible?

I wanted to point out that when I set this up I had ordered a WIC Modem, but Cisco came back saying the modem was obsolete and they were working on a new model with BRI and POTS combined.  I don't know if the integrated modem would have detected the dial tone failing and then bringing the Line Protocol of the Async interface down or not.

Carlos,

One way could be to script a test that logs into the router and pings the 
IP address in the dialer map statement on a regular interval (once a 
month, once a quarter...).

To all, I have a question about dial backup.  If you don't mind I need 
your help.  I have a 2600 with a Frame Relay circuit that's backed up by a 
Serial Interface that is working as an ASYNC interface with the 
appropriate command.  The Interface is then connected to a modem.  The 
backup works great as designed, however when the phone line is down the 
router is not able to detect the problem.  I did some testing of the 
backup yesterday and found out the backup phone line was dead. 

Is there any way that I can ensure that the phone line is available?


Thanks
