Associating A Resource Pool With The Demand Interface; Defining A Connect Sequence - HP ProCurve Secure Router 7203 dl Advanced Management And Configuration Manual

N o t e
You could also configure the demand interface so that the match-interesting
command selects outbound traffic and the connect-mode command is set to
answer. In this mode, the router will not use demand routing to initiate a
backup connection. However, interesting outbound traffic will keep a connec-
tion up after the demand interface answers a call.
Currently, it is not possible to have outbound traffic that will originate a call
but not keep the link up. The match-interesting command controls both the
traffic that triggers a connection and the traffic that will reset the idle timer.
To return the connect-mode to its default setting of either, enter:
ProCurve(config-demand 1)# no connect-mode

Associating a Resource Pool with the Demand Interface

Rather than using a bind command to create a persistent, one-to-one connec-
tion between the demand interface and a physical interface, you use the
resource pool command to link the demand interface to one or multiple dial-
up interfaces. The resource pool command creates a resource pool and
associates it with the demand interface. Each demand interface can be asso-
ciated with only one resource pool.
To create a resource pool and associate it with the demand resource, enter:
ProCurve(config-demand 1)# resource pool <poolname>
Replace <poolname> with the name of the resource pool that this demand
routing interface will use to originate or answer calls.
This resource pool is empty until you assign backup interfaces to it.

Defining a Connect Sequence

You must configure a connect sequence to specify:
the telephone number that the demand interface dials to connect to the
other site
the type of dial-up connection to establish
When the ProCurve Secure Router detects interesting traffic and no connec-
tions are currently established to carry this traffic, it uses a connect sequence
to try to establish a connection. This process is called an activation attempt.
