PPP over ATM

Yes

Backup interfaces

Floating static route and dialer watch need a routing protocol

PPP over Ethernet

 

Floating static routes

to run in the router. The dialer watch method brings up the

 

backup interface as soon as the primary link goes down. The

 

 

Dialer watch

 

 

backup interface is brought down as soon as the dialer

 

 

 

timeout is reached and the primary interface is up. The router

 

 

 

checks the primary interface only when the dialer timeout

 

 

 

expires. The backup interface remains up until the dialer

 

 

 

timeout is reached, even though the primary interface is up.

 

 

 

For the dialer watch method, a routing protocol does not need

 

 

 

to be running in the router, if the IP address of the peer is

 

 

 

known.

Configuration Example

 

 

 

The following three examples show sample configurations for the three dial backup methods.
