Re: Frame Relay Backup Interface

["kym blair" <kymblair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pieter,

Dialer-watch and backup-interface are somewhat similar, but fill different 
functions.  Dialer-watch monitors the routing table; if a particular route 
disappears, it activates the ISDN interface.  Backup-interface is configured 
on your primary interface (for example, your frame-relay interface); if the 
primary interface goes down, the ISDN line is brought up.

HTH, Kym
