Configuring Attributes For A Dialup Interface - HP MSR Router Series Wan Access Configuration Manual

Step
4. Configure the host name of the
remote device.
5. Return to system view.
6. Enter physical interface view.
7. Assign the physical interface
to the specified dialer bundle.

Configuring attributes for a dialup interface

Use the following attributes when configuring a dialup interface to improve dial efficiency.
Link idle-timeout timer—A link idle-timeout timer starts upon establishment of a link. When the
•
timer expires, DDR disconnects the link.
Holddown timer—A holddown timer starts upon disconnection of a link. The call attempt to bring
•
up this link can be made only after the timer expires. This prevents a remote stored program
controlled switch (SPCS) from being overloaded.
• Compete-idle timer—If all the physical interfaces are unavailable when DDR originates a new call,
contention occurs.
Generally, an idle-timeout timer starts upon establishment of a link. If a call to another destination
address is placed at the same time, contention occurs. DDR starts a compete-idle timer to replace
the idle-timeout timer for the link. When the idle time of the link reaches the setting of this
compete-idle timer, the link disconnects.
Wait-carrier timer—The time DDR waits for a connection to be established might vary call by call.
•
To handle this situation, use a wait-carrier timer. A wait-carrier timer starts when a call is placed. If
the connection is not established before the timer expires, DDR terminates the call.
• Buffer queue length—If no connection is available when a dialup interface without a buffer queue
receives a packet, it drops the packet. When configured with a buffer queue, the dialup interface
buffers the packet until a connection is available for packet sending.
To configure attributes on a dialup interface:
Command
dialer peer-name username
quit
interface interface-type
interface-number
dialer bundle-member number
[ priority priority ]
182
Remarks
The device compares the remote
username obtained in PPP
authentication with the host
names configured by using the
dialer peer-name commands.
Then, the device determines
which dialer interface receives
which call.
You can configure a maximum
number of 255 remote usernames
for a dialer interface. This enables
one dialer interface to receive
calls from multiple physical
interfaces.

By default, a physical interface
does not belong to any dialer
bundle.
Make sure the number arguments
in the interface dialer and dialer
bundle-member commands use
the same value.
