Configuring Demand Routing for Primary ISDN Modules

Using Demand Routing for ISDN Connections

Note Currently, it is not possible to have outbound traffic that will originate a call

but not keep the link up. Because the match-interesting command controls

both the traffic that triggers a connection and the traffic that resets the idle

timer, any outbound interesting traffic that initiates a connection also keep

the link up.

To return the connect-mode to its default setting of either, enter:

ProCurve(config-demand 1)# no connect-mode

Associating a Resource Pool with the Demand Interface

Rather than using a bind command to create a persistent, one-to-one connec-

tion between the demand interface and a physical interface, you use the

resource pool command to link the demand interface to one or multiple ISDN

BRI interfaces. The resource pool command creates a resource pool and

associates it with a particular demand interface. Each demand interface can

be associated with only one resource pool.

To create a resource pool and associate it with the demand interface, enter:

ProCurve(config-demand 1)# resource pool <poolname>

Replace <poolname> with the name of the resource pool that contains the

physical interfaces that this demand interface will use to originate or answer

connections.

This resource pool is empty until you assign members to it. For primary ISDN

connections, you will assign an ISDN group to the resource pool. You must be

at the configuration mode context for the ISDN group. (For more information,

see “Configuring the ISDN Group” on page 8-44.)

Defining the Connect Sequence

You must configure a connect sequence to specify:

■ the telephone number that the demand interface dials to connect to the

other site

■ the type of dial-up connection to establish

When the ProCurve Secure Router detects interesting traffic and no connec-

tions are currently established to carry this traffic, it uses a connect sequence

to try to establish a connection. This process is called an activation attempt.
