[c-nsp] Dial Backup

[Cheung, Rick]

	Or, perhaps you may want to consider configuring SAA on the router
to ping the IP in the dialer map on a regular basis. If you leave the SAA
debug running, it may output an error message if the ping fails. Forward the
syslogs to a management box with Kiwi, and it can parse the syslog and
output an SNMP trap to your NOC.

	I haven't tried this exact scenario myself, but it sounds feasible.

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
