12.3(11)T

This command was replaced by the routing dynamic command.

 
Usage Guidelines

Use the async default routing command to define the default behavior for router-to-router communication over connections to the AUX port configured as an asynchronous interface. This command is commonly used to enable two routers to communicate over an async dial backup link.

To require a remote user to manually configure routing over connections to the AUX port configured as an asynchronous interface, use the async dynamic routing command.

Examples

The following example enables routing over asynchronous interface 0:

interface async 0

async dynamic address

To specify dynamic asynchronous addressing, use the async dynamic address command in interface configuration mode. To disable dynamic addressing, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

 
Command Default

Dynamic addressing is disabled.

 
Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

You can control whether addressing is dynamic (the user specifies the address at the EXEC level when making the connection) or whether default addressing is used (the address is forced by the system). If you specify dynamic addressing, the router must be in interactive mode and the user will enter the address at the EXEC level.

It is common to configure an asynchronous interface to have a default address and to allow dynamic addressing. With this configuration, the choice between the default address or dynamic addressing is made by users when they enter the slip or ppp EXEC command. If the user enters an address, it is used, and if the user enters the default keyword, the default address is used.

Examples

The following example shows dynamic addressing assigned to asynchronous interface six.

interface ethernet 0
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
interface async 6
async dynamic address

 
Related Commands

Description

peer default ip address

Specifies an IP address, an address from a specific IP address pool, or an address from the DHCP mechanism to be returned to a remote peer connecting to this interface.

async dynamic routing

To enable manually configured routing on an asynchronous interface, use the async dynamic routing command in interface configuration mode. To disable routing protocols, use the no form of this command; static routing is still used.

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

The async dynamic routing command is commonly used to manually bring up PPP from an EXEC session.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable manually configured routing on asynchronous interface 1. The ip tcp header-compression passive command enables Van Jacobson TCP header compression and prevents transmission of compressed packets until a compressed packet arrives from the asynchronous link.

interface async 1
async dynamic routing
async dynamic address
async default ip address 10.1.1.2
ip tcp header-compression passive
 

A remote user who establishes a PPP or SLIP connection to this asynchronous interface can enable routing by using the /routing switch or the ppp/routing command. However, if you want to establish routing by default on connections to an asynchronous interface, use the async default routing command when you configure the interface.

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

 
Usage Guidelines

With dedicated asynchronous network mode, the interface will use either SLIP or PPP encapsulation, depending on which encapsulation method is configured for the interface. An EXEC prompt does not appear, and the router is not available for normal interactive use.

If you configure a line for dedicated mode, you will not be able to use the async dynamic address command because there is no user prompt.

Examples

The following example assigns an IP address to an asynchronous line and places the line into network mode. Setting the stop bits to 1 enhances performance.

interface async 4
async default ip address 172.31.7.51

autodetect encapsulation

To enable automatic detection of the encapsulation types operating over a point-to-point link to a specified serial or ISDN interface or dialer interface under Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) network access server (NAS) packages, use the autodetect encapsulation command in interface configuration mode. To disable automatic dynamic detection of the encapsulation types on a link, use the no form of this command.

autodetect encapsulation {[ lapb-ta ] [ ppp ] [ v120 ]}

no autodetect encapsulation {[ lapb-ta ] [ ppp ] [ v120 ]}

 
Syntax Description

lapb-ta

Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) for an ISDN terminal adapter.

ppp

PPP encapsulation on the interface.

v120

V.120 encapsulation on B channels.

 
Command Default

No default behavior or values.

 
Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

11.2

This command was introduced.

12.0(4)T

The lapb-ta keyword was added.

12.3(7)YB

Support was added for MGCP NAS packages.

12.4(6)T

Support for MGCP NAS packages was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6)T.

 
Usage Guidelines

At least one encapsulation type must be specified, but you can specify multiple encapsulation types. Encapsulation types can be specified in any order.

Use this command to enable the specified serial or ISDN interface or dialer interface under an MGCP NAS package to accept calls and dynamically change the encapsulation in effect on the interface when the remote device does not signal the call type. For example, if an ISDN call does not identify the call type in the Lower Layer Compatibility fields and is using an encapsulation that is different from the one configured on the interface, the interface can change its encapsulation type dynamically.

This command enables interoperation with ISDN terminal adapters that use V.120 encapsulation but do not signal V.120 in the call setup message. An ISDN interface that by default answers a call as synchronous serial with PPP encapsulation can change its encapsulation and answer such calls.

Autodetection of LAPB traffic on an ISDN terminal adapter is possible by issuing the lapb-ta keyword. This allows recognition of incoming LAPB-terminal adapter (TA) calls.

Automatic detection is attempted for 10 seconds after the link is established or the first five packets exchanged over the link, whichever is first.

Examples

The following example configures BRI 0 to call and receive calls from two sites, use PPP encapsulation on outgoing calls, and use Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication on incoming calls. This example also enables BRI 0 to configure itself dynamically to answer calls that use V.120 but that do not signal V.120.

Modification

10.3

This command was introduced.

11.3

The following keywords were added:

  • during-login
  • no autoselect
  • timeout seconds

 
Usage Guidelines

This command eliminates the need for users to enter an EXEC command to start an ARA, PPP, or SLIP session.


Note SLIP does not support authentication. For PPP and ARAP, you must enable authentication.


The autoselect command configures the Cisco IOS software to identify the type of connection being requested. For example, when a user on a Macintosh running ARA selects the Connect button, the Cisco IOS software automatically starts an ARAP session. If, on the other hand, the user is running SLIP or PPP and uses the autoselect ppp or autoselect slip command, the Cisco IOS software automatically starts a PPP or SLIP session, respectively. This command is used on lines making different types of connections. You should configure autoselect ppp when the gateway is configured for interactive PPP authentication. You do not need to configure autoselect ppp for dedicated PPP configurations.


Note If you configure autoselect ppp, you should not configure a no exec under the same line; these processes are mutally exclusive.


A line that does not have autoselect configured views an attempt to open a connection as noise. The router does not respond and the user client times out.

When a timeout period is configured and the initial sample byte is not received before that timeout period, a default EXEC process (if configured) is initiated.


Note After the modem connection is established, a Return is required to evoke a response, such as to get the username prompt. You might need to update your scripts to include this requirement. Additionally, the activation character should be set to the default and the exec-character-bits set to 7. If you change these defaults, the application cannot recognize the activation request.


Examples

The following example enables ARA on a line:

line 3
arap enable
autoselect arap
 

The following example enables a timeout of 30 seconds on a PPP-enabled line:

line 7
autoselect ppp
autoselect timeout 30
 

The following example enables ARA on a line and allows logins from users with a modified CCL script and an unmodified script to log in:

line 3
arap enable
autoselect arap
autoselect during-login
arap noguest if-needed

backup delay

To define how much time should elapse before a secondary line status changes after a primary line status has changed, use the backup delay command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default so that as soon as the primary fails, the secondary is immediately brought up without delay, use the no form of this command.

backup delay { enable-delay-period | never } { disable-delay-period | never }

no backup delay { enable-delay-period | never } { disable-delay-period | never }

 
Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines

For environments in which spurious signal disruptions appear as intermittent lost carrier signals, we recommend that you enable some delay before activating and deactivating a secondary line.

For the Cisco 7600 Backup Interface for Flexible UNI feature to work correctly, the enable and disable backup delay must be 0.

Examples

The following example sets a 10-second delay on deactivating the secondary line (serial interface 0); however, the line is activated immediately.

Usage Guidelines

The interface you define with this command can back up only one other interface.

Routers support only serial and ISDN backup interfaces. Access servers support both asynchronous and serial backup interfaces.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB1 and later releases, you can configure a backup interface for Gigabit Ethernet on the Cisco 7600 router. The configurations on the primary and backup interfaces must match or the backup interface does not work. Note, however, that if the interface configuration includes the xconnect command, you must specify a different virtual circuit ID (VCID) on the primary and backup interfaces.

Examples

The following example sets serial 1 as the backup line to serial 0:

interface serial 0
backup interface serial 1
 

The following example sets gigabitEthernet4/0/1 as the backup interface for gigabitEthernet3/0/1 on the Cisco 7600 router:

Usage Guidelines

Multiple dialer interfaces can use the same dialer pool, which might have a single ISDN interface as a member. Thus, that ISDN interface can back up different serial interfaces and can make calls to different sites.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration of a site that backs up two leased lines using one BRI. Two dialer interfaces are defined. Each serial (leased line) interface is configured to use one of the dialer interfaces as a backup. Both of the dialer interfaces use dialer pool 1, which has BRI 0 as a member. Thus, BRI 0 can back up two different serial interfaces and can make calls to two different sites.

backup load

To set a traffic load threshold for dial backup service, use the backup load command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

backup load { enable-threshold | never } { disable-load | never }

no backup load { enable-threshold | never } { disable-load | never }

 
Syntax Description

enable-threshold

Percentage of the primary line’s available bandwidth that the traffic load must exceed to enable dial backup.

disable-load

Percentage of the available bandwidth that the traffic load must be less than to disable dial backup. The transmitted or received load on the primary line plus the transmitted or received load on the secondary line is less than the value entered for the disable-load argument to disable dial backup.

never

The secondary line is never activated or deactivated because of the traffic load.

12.2(33)SRB1

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB1.

 
Usage Guidelines

When the transmitted or received load on the primary line is greater than the value assigned to the enable-threshold argument, the secondary line is enabled.

The secondary line is disabled when one of the following conditions occurs:

  • The transmitted load on the primary line plus the transmitted load on the secondary line is less than the value entered for the disable-load argument.
  • The received load on the primary line plus the received load on the secondary line is less than the value entered for the disable-load argument.

If the never keyword is used instead of an enable-threshold argument, the secondary line is never activated because of traffic load. If the never keyword is used instead of a disable-load argument, the secondary line is never activated because of traffic load.

Examples

The following example sets the traffic load threshold to 60 percent of the primary line serial 0. When that load is exceeded, the secondary line is activated and will not be deactivated until the combined load is less than 5 percent of the primary bandwidth.

interface serial 0
backup load 60 5

11.3(2)AA

This command was introduced and supported T1 and T3 only.

12.0

This command was enhanced to support E1 and DMM HMM (Double Modem Module [12] Hex Modem Module [6]).

 
Usage Guidelines

This command does not terminate an existing call; instead, after you hang up or end a call, a new call cannot be established on a channel that has received a busyout command instruction.

Use the busyout command before you remove a card from a shelf. The maintenance LED on the card goes ON after all the channels (or calls) have been terminated. The ON LED indicates that it is safe to remove the card from the shelf.

Use this command to busyout digital signal level 0s (DS0s) on a trunk card or all modems on a modem card.

To busyout an individual DS0, use the ds0 busyout controller configuration command.

To display the busyout information, use the show busyout privileged EXEC command.

Restrictions

If the trunk card is using ISDN signaling, there is a limit on the amount of traffic that the exchange can accept on the signaling channel. The restrictions are as follows:

  • A busyout can take 1 or 2 minutes to complete for a T1 or T2 trunk card.
  • The no busyout command cannot be used within 3 minutes of the busyout command and vice versa; otherwise, the command will be rejected.

Usage Guidelines

You can perform autodiagnostic tests and firmware upgrades when you put the SPEs in the Busiedout state. Active ports on the specified SPE will change the state of the specified range of SPEs to the BusyoutPending state. The state changes from BusyoutPending to Busiedout when all calls end. Use the show spe command to display the state of the range of SPEs. Use the shutdown command to override the busyout command. Use the no busyout command to reenable the SPEs.

Examples

The following example shows all active ports on SPE 1 to 10 on slot 1 being busied out:

spe 1/1 1/10
busyout
