Dial Backup Feature Activation Methods
Note When dynamic routes are being used, the time it takes to activate a floating static route depends on the
routing protocol convergence times.
Dialer Watch
The dialer watch method only supports the Extended Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
link-state dynamic routing protocols.
Configuring Dialer Watch
Perform these steps to configure a dialer watch on your router, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
interface type number
Example:
Router(config)# interface dialer 2
Router(config-if)#
Enters configuration mode for the dial backup
interface.
Step 2
dialerwatch-group group-number
Example:
Router(config-if)# dialer watch-group 2
Router(config-if)#
Specifies the group number for the watch list.
Step 3
exit
Example:
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 4
ip route prefix mask {ip-address | interface-type
interface-number [ip-address]}
Example:
Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
22.0.0.2
Router(config)#
Assigns the primary route. 22.0.0.2 is the peer IP
address of the primary interface.
