Configuring Dial Backup and Remote Management Through the
Console Port or Auxiliary Port
When customer premises equipment, such as a Cisco 3900 series ISR, is connected to an ISP, an IP
address is dynamically assigned to the router, or the IP address is assigned by the router peer through
the centrally managed function. The dial backup feature can be added to provide a failover route in case
the primary line fails. Cisco 3900 series ISRs can use the auxiliary port for dial backup and remote
management.
Figure 1 shows the network configuration used for remote management access and for providing backup
to the primary WAN line.
