the packet. However, the router will reset the dial-up connection's idle timer
only if the packet also matches the ACL specified with the match-interesting
reverse list command.

Specifying the connect-mode Option

You can control whether the demand interface can be used to originate a call,
answer a call, or both. From the demand interface configuration mode context,
enter:
Syntax: connect-mode [originate | answer | either]
Table 8-5 shows each option and when you would use it. The default setting
is either.
Table 8-5. Options for the connect-mode Command
Option Explanation
originate The demand interface can make calls but cannot answer them.
answer The demand interface can answer calls but cannot make them.
either The demand interface can make calls and answer them.
No matter what you configure as interesting traffic, the connect-mode com-
mand controls whether or not the demand interface can originate or answer
a call. When the demand interface receives outbound interesting traffic, it will
originate a connection only if the connect mode you configured for the
demand interface allows it to originate a call.
If a demand interface receives outbound interesting traffic and a dial-up
connection is already established on this interface, the ProCurve Secure
Router resets the idle timer on the connected link. (The idle timer determines
how long the ISDN connection can remain up if no traffic is transmitted over
it.) The router also resets the idle timer when it receives inbound interesting
traffic through the demand interface.
If you want the demand interface to originate a call when it receives interesting
traffic, you must set the connect-mode to originate or either. You could also
configure the demand interface so that an ACL selects outbound traffic
(match-interesting list <listname>) but the connect-mode command is
set to answer. In this mode, the outbound traffic will not trigger a connection,
but it will keep the connection up after the demand interface answers a call.
