I have a similar situation here and I used the Dialer Watch feature with
great results. That's basically a dialer that is activated when a route
that is being monitored disappears. So, if your remote site had
192.168.*.* addresses, you could watch some specific subnet of that
network. If it goes away due to the link freaking out, that will cause
your dialer to bring up your ISDN interface.
Works like a dream. Check out CCO for configuration details. It's
very simple and you can have it setup in a couple of minutes.
Good luck!

Well heres the situation. I have a point to point T-1 with ethernwt and
I
want to kick off an ISDN BRI when traffic is at 0, so I was going to
implement OSPF and have the keepalives let me know when there is no
response
so that it will kick-off the ISDN. Mainly because you can have a T-1 in
a
comatose state and still be presented as up but it does not pass
traffic. I
already have two 2500 routers setup with the direct connection but
think it
would be optimumly configured for failover with the OSPF keepalives
since I
cannot use a regular threshold setting for the activation of my backup
line
since I would like to perform the opposite type of configuration.

Subject: Re: OSPF question [7:17541]
I'm not sure I understand the question and I can interpret it a couple
of ways.
Are you asking if you can have a different IP address on each end of
the link? If so, why would you consider doing that? Is there some
problem that you're trying to solve? Since I'm pretty sure you don't
mean that, let's move on.
I'm not sure why you're asking if you can configure them to pass along
keepalives. By that, do you mean you want to only pass keepalives but
no network information? As soon as you configure OSPF and these two
routers become neighbors they will begin sending keepalives.
Perhaps you should approach this from the top down instead of bottom
up. What is the main thing you're trying to accomplish? Let us know
the big picture and it will be easier to help you out.

Hi all,
If I setup OSPF between two routers in two different states, one with
a
192.168.* address and the other with a 10.10.* address; Is it possible
to
have these setup as neighbors so that they pass along keepalive
messages
with each other such as the Hello/Dead intervals?
