30 • PPP configuration

 

 

If an additional link (when using multi-link PPP) was up and is accidentally disconnected, we retry to establish it after 5 seconds.

If an additional link (when using multi-link PPP) could not be established because of call-signaling prob- lems (e.g. no ISDN CONNECT received), the dialer retries the same destination again after 10 seconds.

If an additional link (when using multi-link PPP) could be established (e.g. ISDN CONNECT received), and therefore you probably have to pay for the connection, but if the PPP negotiation failed, the dialer does not start another retry. It does not try to establish further links until the whole multi-link bundle is torn down.

Use the following commands to configure the recovery strategy:

Mode: context cs/interface dialer

Step

Command

Purpose

 

 

 

1

[name] (if-dialer)[dialer]#[no] recovery ini-

Configures the recovery timeout from a call-

 

tial-link on-signaling-failure <timeout>

signaling failure of the first link of a multi-link

 

 

bundle. The default value is 30 seconds.

 

 

 

2

[name] (if-dialer)[dialer]#[no] recovery ini-

Configures the recovery timeout from a net-

 

tial-link on-network-error <timeout>

work-establishment error (e.g. a PPP negotia-

 

 

tion problem) of the first link of a multi-link

 

 

bundle. The default is not to automatically

 

 

recover from this situation. The operation has

 

 

to execute the reset command manually in this

 

 

case.

 

 

 

3

[name] (if-dialer)[dialer]#[no] recovery

Configures the recovery timeout from a link

 

additional-link if-already-up <timeout>

teardown after the link was already up. The

 

 

default value is 5 seconds.

 

 

 

4

[name] (if-dialer)[dialer]#[no] recovery

Configures the recovery timeout from a call-

 

additional-link on-signaling-failure

signaling failure of an additional link of a

 

<timeout>

multi-link bundle. The default value is 10 sec-

 

 

onds.

 

 

 

5

[name] (if-dialer)[dialer]#[no] recovery

Configures the recovery timeout from a net-

 

additional-link on-network-error <time-

work-establishment error (e.g. a PPP negotia-

 

out>

tion problem) of an additional link of a multi-

 

 

link bundle. The default is not to automatically

 

 

recover from this situation. The bundle will

 

 

drain out of links. When all links of the bundle

 

 

are down, the dialer recovers from this situa-

 

 

tion without a manual intervention.

 

 

 

Create inbound destinations

You can also create inbound destinations. Inbound destinations can be used for dial-in connections. In that case the call-router must be configured to route certain calls (e.g. calls with information transfer capability of unrestricted-digital) to the dialer interface.

If you want two devices to be symmetrically connected, each being able to establish a dial-on-demand connec- tion to the other, you have to create an outbound and an inbound destination with the same configuration parameters.
