Interface configuration
The following example shows a dialer interface configuration that is linked to the physical interface configuration shown for BRI 1 in the dialer pool-member command section. Dialer interface 1 uses dialer pool 3, of which BRI 1 is a member.
! This is a dialer profile for reaching remote subnetwork 1.1.1.1.
interface Dialer1
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation ppp
dialer remote-name Smalluser
dialer string 4540
dialer pool 3
dialer-group 1
The following example might accompany the previous dialer profile configuration example. Physical interface BRI 1 has a reserved channel in dialer pool 3. That channel is inactive until BRI 1 uses it to place calls.
interface BRI1
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool-member 1 priority 50
dialer pool-member 2 priority 50
!BRI 1 has a reserved channel in dialer pool 3; the channel remains inactive
