Configuring Backup Data Lines and Remote Management
Cisco 3900 series, Cisco 2900 series, and Cisco 1900 series integrated services routers (ISRs) support remote management and backup data connectivity by means of ISDN.
The following sections describe how to configure backup data lines and remote management:
Configuring Backup Interfaces
This section contains the following topics:
Configuring the Backup Interface
When the router receives an indication that the primary interface is down, the backup interface is enabled. After the primary connection is restored for a specified period, the backup interface is disabled.
Note For dial-on-demand routing (DDR) backup, even if the backup interface comes out of standby mode, the router does not enable the backup interface unless the router receives the traffic specified for that backup interface.
To configure the router with a backup interface, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. interface type number
2. backup interface interface-type interface-number
3. backup delay enable-delay disable-delay
4. exit
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
interface type number
Router(config)# interface atm 0/0/0 Router(config-if)# |
Enters interface configuration mode for the interface for which you want to configure backup. The example shows configuration of a backup interface for an ATM WAN connection. |
Step 2 |
backup interface interface-type interface-number
Router(config-if)# backup interface bri 0/0/1 Router(config-if)# |
Assigns an interface as the secondary or backup interface. This can be a serial interface or an asynchronous interface. For example, a serial 1 interface could be configured to back up a serial 0/2/1 interface. The example shows a BRI interface configured as the backup interface for the ATM 0/0/0 interface. |
Step 3 |
backup delay enable-delay disable-delay
Router(config-if)# backup delay enable delay |
Specifies the delay between the physical interface going down and the backup interface being enabled, and the delay between the physical interface coming back up and the backup interface being disabled. |
Step 4 |
exit
Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)# |
Exits configuration interface mode. |
Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Failover Media
Cisco 2921, Cisco 2951, and Cisco 3900 Series routers provide a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) port that supports copper and fiber concurrent connections. Media can be configured for failover redundancy when the network goes down.
Note Do not connect back-to-back Cisco 2921, Cisco 2951, or Cisco 3900 Series routers with failover or as auto-detect configured. This is not a supported configuration and the behavior is unpredictable.
Assigning Primary and Secondary Failover Media
To assign primary and secondary failover media on the GE-SFP port, follow these steps, beginning in EXEC mode.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface gigabitethernet slot/port
3. media-type sfp
4. media-type sfp auto-failover
5. end
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
configure terminal
Router> enable Router# configure terminal Router(config)# |
Enters global configuration mode, when using the console port. Use the following commands to connect to the router with a remote terminal: telnet router name or address Login: login id Password: ********* Router> enable |
Step 2 |
interface gigabitethernet slot/port
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1 Router(config-if)# |
Enters interface configuration mode. |
Step 3 |
media-type sfp
Router(config-if)# media-type sfp Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)# media-type rj45 Router(config-if)# |
Designates SFP port as the primary media. OR Designates RJ-45 as the primary media. |
Step 4 |
media-type sfp auto-failover
Router(config-if)# media-type sfp auto-failover Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)# media-type rj45 auto-failover Router(config-if)# |
Configures the port with SFP as the primary media for automatic failover from SFP to RJ-45. OR Configures the port with RJ-45 as the primary media for automatic failover from RJ-45 to SFP. |
Step 5 |
end |
Exits to global configuration mode. |
Enabling Auto-Detect
The Auto-Detect feature is enabled if media-type is not configured. This feature automatically detects which media is connected and links up. If both media are connected, whichever media comes up first is linked up.
Note The Auto-Detect feature only works with 1 GigE SFPs. This feature does not detect 100M SFPs.
Use the no media-type command in interface configuration mode to enable the Auto-Detect feature.
To configure the Auto-Detect feature, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface gigabitethernet slot/port
3. no media-type
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
configure terminal
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# |
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
interface gigabitethernet slot/port
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1 Router(config-if)# |
Enters interface configuration mode. |
Step 3 |
no media-type
Router(config-if)# no media-type GigabitEthernet0/1: Changing media to UNKNOWN. You may need to update the speed and duplex settings for this interface. |
Enables Auto-Detect. If a 1 GigE SFP is plugged in, set the speed as 1000 and duplex as full. An RJ45 connection only works with speed as 1000 and duplex as full. If a SFP is not plugged in, all speeds and duplexes are available for the RJ45 media. Note Do not set speed as 100 or 10 and duplex as half if a 1 GigE SFP is plugged in. SFP behavior is unpredictable at these settings. |
Configuring Cellular Dial-on-Demand Routing Backup
To monitor the primary connection and initiate the backup connection over the cellular interface when needed, the router can use one of the following methods:
Note You cannot configure a backup interface for the cellular interface or any other asynchronous serial interface.
Configuring DDR Backup Using Dialer Watch
To initiate dialer watch, you must configure the interface to perform dial-on-demand routing (DDR) and backup. Use traditional DDR configuration commands, such as dialer map, for DDR capabilities. To enable dialer watch on the backup interface and create a dialer list, use the following commands in interface configuration mode.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface type number
3. dialer watch group group-number
4. dialer watch-list group-number ip ip-address address-mask
5. dialer-list dialer-group protocol protocol-name {permit | deny | list access-list-number | access-group}
6. ip access-list access list number permit ip source address
7. interface cellular 0
8. dialer string string
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
configure terminal
Router# configure terminal |
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
interface type number
Router (config)# interface ATM 0 |
Specifies the interface. |
Step 3 |
dialer watch-group group-number
Router(config-if)# dialer watch-group 2 |
Enables dialer watch on the backup interface. |
Step 4 |
dialer watch-list group-number ip ip-address address-mask
Router(config-if)# dialer watch-list 2 ip 10.4.0.254 255.255.0.0 |
Defines a list of all IP addresses to be watched. |
Step 5 |
dialer-list dialer-group protocol protocol-name {permit | deny | list access-list-number | access-group}>
Router(config)# dialer-list 2 protocol ip permit |
Creates a dialer list for traffic of interest and permits access to an entire protocol. |
Step 6 |
ip access-list access-list-number permit ip-source-address
Router(config)# access list 2 permit 10.4.0.0 |
Defines traffic of interest. Do not use the access list permit all command to avoid sending traffic to the IP network. This may result in call termination. |
Step 7 |
interface cellular 0
Router (config)# interface cellular 0 |
Specifies the cellular interface. |
Step 8 |
dialer string string or dialer group dialer-group-number
Router (config-if)# dialer string cdma *** cdma ***
Router (config-if)# dialer group 2 *** gsm *** |
CDMA only—dialer string string specifies the dialer script. (The dialer script is defined by using the chat script command). GSM only—dialer group dialer-group-number maps a dialer list to the dialer interface. |
Configuring DDR Backup Using Floating Static Route
To configure a floating static default route on the secondary interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode.
Note Make sure you have IP classless enabled on your router.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. ip route network-number network-mask { ip address | interface } [ administrative-distance ] [name name]
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
configure terminal
Router# configure terminal |
Enters global configuration mode from the terminal. |
Step 2 |
ip route network-number network-mask { ip-address | interface } [ administrative-distance ] [name name ]
Router (config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 Dialer 2 track 234 |
Establishes a floating static route with the configured administrative distance through the specified interface. A higher administrative distance should be configured for the route through the backup interface, so that the backup interface is used only when the primary interface is down. |
Cellular Wireless Modem as Backup with NAT and IPSec Configuration
The following example shows how to configure the 3G wireless modem as backup with NAT and IPsec on either GSM or CDMA networks.
Note The receive and transmit speeds cannot be configured. The actual throughput depends on the cellular network service.

Configuring Dial Backup and Remote Management Through the Console Port or Auxiliary Port
When customer premises equipment, such as a Cisco 3900 series ISR, is connected to an ISP, an IP address is dynamically assigned to the router, or the IP address is assigned by the router peer through the centrally managed function. The dial backup feature can be added to provide a failover route in case the primary line fails. Cisco 3900 series ISRs can use the auxiliary port for dial backup and remote management.
Figure 1 shows the network configuration used for remote management access and for providing backup to the primary WAN line.

Configuring Data Line Backup and Remote Management Through the ISDN S/T Port
This section contains the following topics:
Cisco 3900 series routers can use the ISDN S/T port for remote management. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show two typical network configurations that provide remote management access and backup for the primary WAN line.
Figure 2 shows a dial backup link that goes through a customer premises equipment (CPE) splitter, a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), and a central office (CO) splitter before connecting to the ISDN switch.

The following configuration example configures an aggregated and ISDN peer router.
The aggregator is typically a concentrator router where your Cisco router Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) permanent virtual connection (PVC) terminates. In the following configuration example, the aggregator is configured as a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) server.
The ISDN peer router is any router that has an ISDN interface and can communicate through a public ISDN network to reach your Cisco router ISDN interface. The ISDN peer router provides Internet access for your Cisco router during the ATM network downtime.
! This portion of the example configures the aggregator.

Configuring Third-Party SFPs
Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs) that are not Cisco certified are called third-party SFPs. Cisco approved means the SFPs have undergone rigorous testing with Cisco products and the SFPs are guaranteed to have 100% compatibility.
Third-party SFPs are manufactured by companies that are not on the Cisco-approved Vendor List (AVL). Currently, Cisco ISR G2 routers support only Cisco-approved SFPs. From Release 15.3(2)T, Cisco ISR G2 routers recognize third-party SFPs.
Note Cisco does not provide any kind of support for the third-party SFPs because they are not validated by Cisco.
Restrictions
- Supports only 100BASE SFPs and 1000BASE SFPs under two speed configurations:
- 100 Mbps speed for 100BASE SFPs
- 1000 Mbps speed for 1000BASE SFPs
- Only the following routers and modules support third-party SFPs:
- Cisco 2921 Integrated Services Router
- Cisco 2951 Integrated Services Router
- Cisco 3900 Integrated Services Router
- Cisco 3900E Series Integrated Services Routers
- Cisco 892-F Gigabit Ethernet Security Router
- Cisco 898-EA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router
- EHWIC-1GE-SFP

DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
enable
Router> enable |
Enables the privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted. |
Step 2 |
configure terminal
Router# configure terminal |
Enters the global configuration mode. |
Step 3 |
service unsupported-transceiver
Router(config)# service unsupported-transceiver |
Enables third-party SFP support. |
Step 4 |
interface type slot/subslot/port number
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/3/0 |
Selects an interface to configure. |
Step 5 |
media-type sfp
Router(config-if)# media-type sfp |
Changes media type to SFP. |
Step 6 |
speed value
Router(config-if)# speed 100 |
Configures the speed of the interface. Note For 100BASE SFPs, configure the speed to 100 Mbps only. Similarly, for 1000BASE SFPs, configure the speed to 1000 Mbps only. |
Step 7 |
shutdown
Router(config-if)# shutdown |
Disables the interface, changing its state from administratively UP to administratively DOWN. |
Step 8 |
no shutdown
Router(config-if)# no shutdown |
Enables the interface, changing its state from administratively DOWN to administratively UP. |
Step 9 |
exit
Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)# |
Exits the configuration mode and returns the global configuration mode. |
Examples
This example shows how to configure a third-party SFP on a Cisco ISR G2 Series Router:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config-if)# service unsupported-transceiver
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/3/0
Router(config-if)# media-type sfp
Router(config-if)# speed 100
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
