Suggested for Dial-On-Demand Operation

Outgoing dial-on-demand requires some additional information.

•Set dialing method

•Create dial-out script

•Set dial-out script to be used

•Set inactivity time

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN 1 Dialog Box to set the dialing method and to select a chat script (once you have created one). Use the WAN Chat Scripts Dialog Box (under Global/WAN Chat Scripts) to create your chat script.

TB: Use configure and then set the Dialing, DialOutScript, and DropInact keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use edit config and create a Chat section to contain your dialing script.

IP Protocol

Required for IP

WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are set to act as an "unnumbered interface." In this mode of operation, there are no required settings.

Suggested for IP

These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.

•Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

•Set IP static routes

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: WAN Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF and BGP can only be configured using text- based configuration.

TB: Use configure and set the RIPversion keyword in the IP WAN 0 (and/or other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.

ϖNote: If you set RIP to “on” for a dial-on-demand link, you must also set the update method to triggered to avoid the link being brought up by transmission of RIP information. You should only use triggered
