Configuring PPP with a Dialed Backup Line

Configuring PPP with a Dialed Backup Line

You can configure PPP on the following types of physical interfaces:

Asynchronous serial

Synchronous serial

T1/E1

By enabling PPP encapsulation on physical interfaces, PPP can also be used on calls placed by the dialer interfaces that use the physical interfaces. Refer to Figure 8-6for an example of an XSR configured with one backup dial line to two different sites.

Configuring a Synchronous Serial Interface

Perform the following steps to configure a synchronous V.35 serial interface to communicate with PPP:

1.Enter interface serial <card/port> to specify the interface.

XSR(config)#interface serial 1/0

2.Enter the media-type for the interface (default: RS232).

XSR(config-if<S1/0>)#media-type v35

3.Enter encapsulation ppp to enable PPP encapsulation.

XSR(config-if<S1/0>)#encapsulation ppp

4.Set the local IP address of this interface.

XSR(config-if<S1/0>)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
