Configuring Demand Routing for Primary ISDN Modules
Using Demand Routing for ISDN Connections
Figure 8-5. Using Demand Routing to Establish Dial-Up Connections for Primary
and Backup Interfaces
Demand routing can also be used for backup dial-up connections, ensuring
that they are established only when the primary interface is down and traffic
must be transmitted to another site. (For more information about using
demand routing for backup dial-up connections, see the Advanced Manage-
ment and Configuration Guide, Chapter 3: Configuring Backup WAN
Connections.)
