Understanding How The Connect-Sequence Commands Work - HP ProCurve Secure 7000dl Series Basic Management And Configuration Manual

Replace <seconds> with the number of seconds you want the demand
interface to wait between connect sequence attempts. You can specify a
number between 1 and 65535. The default setting is 120 seconds.
Replace <number> with a number between 0 and 65535. If you specify 0, the
ProCurve Secure Router will continue to try to establish a connection until it
is successful or you clear the interface. The number you specify overrides the
connect-sequence attempts setting while the demand interface is in recov-
ery mode. The default setting is 0, or unlimited. That is, the demand interface
remains in recovery mode until it successfully establishes a call or until you
shutdown the interface.
To disable the recovery mode, enter the following command from the demand
interface configuration mode context:
ProCurve(config-demand 1)# no connect-sequence interface-recovery

Understanding How the connect-sequence Commands Work

Before you configure all the settings for connect sequences, you should
understand how these settings interrelate. For example, consider the con-
figuration shown in Figure 8-10:
interface demand 1
connect-order sequential
connect-sequence attempts 3
connect-sequence 10 dial-string 5551212 forced-isdn-64k busyout-threshold 3
connect-sequence 20 dial-string 5552222 forced-isdn-64k busyout-threshold 1
connect-sequence interface-recovery retry-interval 60 max-retries 5
resource pool Pool
Figure 8-10. Connection Instructions for a Demand Interface
The resource pool for this demand interface contains two BRI interfaces. If
interesting traffic is forwarded to this demand interface, the ProCurve Secure
Router will first process connect sequence 10 (because the connect-order is
sequential). If the BRI interface is available, the ProCurve Secure Router will
try to call 5551212. (See Figure 8-11.)
