Otherwise I had in mind to use floating static routes with Routing Protocols but the problem again boils down to this that how can I do it without using any routing protocols. I don't think you have to be running a routing protocol to use Dialer Watch. The paper that Marc Russell mentioned says this: Routing protocol independent—Static routes or dynamic routing protocols, such as Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) can be used. It says you can do it with static routes. I don't know exactly what you have to do, but I think you should read the paper more carefully. It may meet your needs. Good luck. Let us know. Thanks.

RE: Bakup Interface with Wireless! [7:70410]
outta curiosity, whats the routing protocol and topology? And is your isdn configured with floating static routes? and which interface is showing up,up? I've got a building connected with two wireless links and load balanced with EIGRP. If one link goes down the other one takes all the traffic. not quite the same scenario but it doesn't try to send traffic out the down link so in theory if the 2nd link was a bri interface then it should bring the interface up if theres a route in place. -Original Message- From: Marc Russell To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 6/9/2003 3:19 PM Subject: Re: Bakup Interface with Wireless!

Re: Bakup Interface with Wireless! [7:70410]
Dear Ms. Priscilla Thanks alot for your answer but the problem still remains there. The explanation is as under:- I don't think you have to be running a routing protocol to use Dialer Watch. Routing protocol independent—Static routes or dynamic routing protocols, such as Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) can be used. This is very true but you see by RP Independent it means that one can use *any* Routing Protocols. As far as Static Routes are concerned, in that case the interface to which that static route is pointing should go down so that the router would remove that specific network from its Routing Table and the dialer watch would initiate the backup link. You see the basic criterea using Dialer Watch is as under: 1. Whenever a watched route is deleted, Dialer Watch checks to see if there is at least one valid route for any of the defined watched IP addresses. My problem is that my main Wireless Link never goes down and show the status UP even when its not working. I am not using any routing protocol so the only choice is to use Static Route. Now as the Wireless Link never goes down the static network entry doesn't remove intself from the Routing table and thus the backup link never initiates. I suppose the best solution would be to use a routing protocol just btw the sites so that I can watch for the network part. I hope I have explained my problem to you. Thanks to all of you. If you can find any other solution then I would be grateful. Thank You once again! -Kenan Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=70483t=70410 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was hoping that reading the entire page on Dialer Watch would provide an answer Alas, it sounds like it didn't. All I can think of is writing a script of some sort that would figure out that the wireless is down??? Or, run a routing protocol, as you say. Good luck, Priscilla Thanks to all of you. If you can find any other solution then I would be grateful.
