Configuring Backup WAN Connections
Configuring Demand Routing for Backup Connections
3-30
Specify the Order in Which Connect Sequences Are Used
If you configure more than one connect sequence, you can configure the order
in which each one is used. From the demand interface configuration mode
context, enter:
Syntax: connect-order [sequential | last-successful | round-robin]
Table 3-5 lists each option with a brief description.
Table 3-5.
Options for Processing the Connect Sequences
Option
Description
sequential
Process each connect sequence in numerical order, starting with the
lowest number and ending with the highest number.
last-successful
Process the last-successful connect sequence first. If that connect
sequence is not successful, process those remaining in numerical order,
starting with the lowest number and ending with the highest number.
round-robin
First, process the connect sequence that follows the last-successful
connect sequence. (If no connection has been made, process the first
connect sequence.)
The default setting is sequential. To return the connect-order to the default
setting, enter:
ProCurve(config-demand 1)# no connect-order
Configure the Number of Connect Sequence Attempts
You can limit the number of times that the ProCurve Secure Router processes
the connect sequences that are configured for a demand resource if it is unable
to establish a connection. The router will process the connect sequences in
the order you specify (with the connect-order command). If the router
processes all of the connect sequences and is unable to establish a connection,
the router has made one connect sequence attempt. (Note that in one attempt,
the router can retry a particular connect sequence as many times as specified
for that connect sequence's busyout-threshold setting.) The router then
repeats the process until it reaches the number that you specified in the
connect-sequence attempts command.
From the demand interface configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: connect-sequence attempts <value>
