11.14.10Configuration of a backup connection on
the serial interface
The configuration of a backup connection via a modem at the serial interface
requires first of all an entry in the Dialup-Peers list so that the required remote
site can be reached. The following entries will also be required for the config-
uration of the BAT:
D Entry in the backup table
In the backup table, generate an entry for the remote site that is to be
used for the backup connection. This remote site is to be allocated to the
remote site that is to be called by the modem at the serial interface.
The backup table is to be found under the following paths:
D Entry in the polling table
If the link to the remote station that is to be backed up cannot be checked
by LCP polling (with PPP only) then an additional entry in the polling
table is required. This involves assigning the remote site with an IP
address that can be regularly tested with a ping command. The IP
address should typically be a computer directly at the opposite end of the
connection being tested, e.g. a DNS server in your provider's network.
The polling table is to be found under the following paths:
