24 Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide
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 W AN 0
(and/or other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use
edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.
v Note: 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
