Figure 3-28. Viewing Backup Interfaces
For each interface, the report includes:
Backup state—If the backup state is "idle," the primary connection is up.
If the state is, for example, "in dial backup using..." the backup connection
is active. The dial-up interface (bri 1/3, in the example above) indicates
which backup line is active. Any available dial-up interface can provide
the backup connection.
Backup protocol—This is always PPP.
Backup settings—Pay most attention to the interface's call mode, which
determines its role in the backup call process. This role may be to originate
calls, answer them, or both. This setting also indicates whether the
interface can receive calls only during primary line failure or at any time
(always). If you are having problems with a seemingly good line going
down, an always setting can be to blame. The router could be answering
a backup call and forcing the line down.
This section of the report also shows parameters such as the delay
between call attempts and the delay between line failure and backup
initialization.
Backup enabled—Backup is enabled for the times and days listed. Verify
that these times are in keeping with your organization's policies.
