The problem with the secondary address, is that the router will still know about the ip address and I can't tie the address to only be available when the ISDN link is up.
The problem is that the ISDN interface (spoofing) appears up but doesn't connect until it can no longer route packets over the preferred route. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sloane, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 3:07 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [SA-list] Checking ISDN backup interface. > > Jack, > > If I understand your problem correctly, the ISDN and T1 interfaces end up > at > the same far-side (farthest from the Servers Alive box) IP address.
