Backup Configuration: Primary Interface & Next Hop IP
Addresses
In order for the ISDN BRI or analog modem connection to act as a backup
connection, it must be associated with another interface on the router that will act
as the primary connection. The ISDN BRI or analog modem connection will be
made only if the connection on the primary interface goes down.
Primary Interface
Select the router interface that will maintain the primary connection.
Primary Next Hop IP Address
This field is optional. Enter the IP address to which the primary interface will
connect when it is active, known as the next hop IP address.
Backup Next Hop IP Address
This field is optional. Enter the IP address to which the backup interface will
connect when it is active, known as the next hop IP address.
Backup Configuration: Hostname or IP Address to be Tracked
This screen lets you identify a specific host to which connectivity must be
maintained. The router will track connectivity to that host, and if the router
discovers that connectivity has been lost by the primary interface, a backup
connection will be initiated over the ISDN BRI or analog modem interface.
IP Address to be Tracked
Enter the IP address or host name of the destination host to which connectivity
will be tracked. Please specify an infrequently-contacted destination as the site to
be tracked.
