Configuring Backup Data Lines and Remote Management

Cisco 3900 series, Cisco 2900 series, and Cisco 1900 series integrated services routers (ISRs) support remote management and backup data connectivity by means of ISDN.

The following sections describe how to configure backup data lines and remote management:

Configuring Backup Interfaces

This section contains the following topics:

Configuring the Backup Interface

When the router receives an indication that the primary interface is down, the backup interface is enabled. After the primary connection is restored for a specified period, the backup interface is disabled.

Note For dial-on-demand routing (DDR) backup, even if the backup interface comes out of standby mode, the router does not enable the backup interface unless the router receives the traffic specified for that backup interface.

To configure the router with a backup interface, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. interface type number

2. backup interface interface-type interface-number

3. backup delay enable-delay disable-delay

4. exit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	interface type number Router(config)# interface atm 0/0/0 Router(config-if)#	Enters interface configuration mode for the interface for which you want to configure backup. The example shows configuration of a backup interface for an ATM WAN connection.
Step 2	backup interface interface-type interface-number Router(config-if)# backup interface bri 0/0/1 Router(config-if)#	Assigns an interface as the secondary or backup interface. This can be a serial interface or an asynchronous interface. For example, a serial 1 interface could be configured to back up a serial 0/2/1 interface. The example shows a BRI interface configured as the backup interface for the ATM 0/0/0 interface.
Step 3	backup delay enable-delay disable-delay Router(config-if)# backup delay enable delay	Specifies the delay between the physical interface going down and the backup interface being enabled, and the delay between the physical interface coming back up and the backup interface being disabled.
Step 4	exit Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)#	Exits configuration interface mode.

Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Failover Media

Cisco 2921, Cisco 2951, and Cisco 3900 Series routers provide a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) port that supports copper and fiber concurrent connections. Media can be configured for failover redundancy when the network goes down.

Note Do not connect back-to-back Cisco 2921, Cisco 2951, or Cisco 3900 Series routers with failover or as auto-detect configured. This is not a supported configuration and the behavior is unpredictable.

Assigning Primary and Secondary Failover Media

To assign primary and secondary failover media on the GE-SFP port, follow these steps, beginning in EXEC mode.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. configure terminal

2. interface gigabitethernet slot/port

3. media-type sfp

4. media-type sfp auto-failover

5. end

DETAILED STEPS

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal Router> enable Router# configure terminal Router(config)#	Enters global configuration mode, when using the console port. Use the following commands to connect to the router with a remote terminal: telnet router name or address Login: login id Password: ********* Router> enable
Step 2	interface gigabitethernet slot/port Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1 Router(config-if)#	Enters interface configuration mode.
Step 3	media-type sfp Router(config-if)# media-type sfp Router(config-if)# Router(config-if)# media-type rj45 Router(config-if)#	Designates SFP port as the primary media. OR Designates RJ-45 as the primary media.
Step 4	media-type sfp auto-failover Router(config-if)# media-type sfp auto-failover Router(config-if)# Router(config-if)# media-type rj45 auto-failover Router(config-if)#	Configures the port with SFP as the primary media for automatic failover from SFP to RJ-45. OR Configures the port with RJ-45 as the primary media for automatic failover from RJ-45 to SFP.
Step 5	end	Exits to global configuration mode.

Enabling Auto-Detect

The Auto-Detect feature is enabled if media-type is not configured. This feature automatically detects which media is connected and links up. If both media are connected, whichever media comes up first is linked up.

Note The Auto-Detect feature only works with 1 GigE SFPs. This feature does not detect 100M SFPs.

Use the no media-type command in interface configuration mode to enable the Auto-Detect feature.

To configure the Auto-Detect feature, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. configure terminal

2. interface gigabitethernet slot/port

3. no media-type

DETAILED STEPS

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal Router# configure terminal Router(config)#	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2	interface gigabitethernet slot/port Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1 Router(config-if)#	Enters interface configuration mode.
Step 3	no media-type Router(config-if)# no media-type GigabitEthernet0/1: Changing media to UNKNOWN. You may need to update the speed and duplex settings for this interface.	Enables Auto-Detect. If a 1 GigE SFP is plugged in, set the speed as 1000 and duplex as full. An RJ45 connection only works with speed as 1000 and duplex as full. If a SFP is not plugged in, all speeds and duplexes are available for the RJ45 media. Note Do not set speed as 100 or 10 and duplex as half if a 1 GigE SFP is plugged in. SFP behavior is unpredictable at these settings.

GigabitEthernet0/1: Changing media to UNKNOWN.

You may need to update the speed and duplex settings for this interface.

Enables Auto-Detect. If a 1 GigE SFP is plugged in, set the speed as 1000 and duplex as full. An RJ45 connection only works with speed as 1000 and duplex as full. If a SFP is not plugged in, all speeds and duplexes are available for the RJ45 media.

Note Do not set speed as 100 or 10 and duplex as half if a 1 GigE SFP is plugged in. SFP behavior is unpredictable at these settings.

Configuring Cellular Dial-on-Demand Routing Backup

To monitor the primary connection and initiate the backup connection over the cellular interface when needed, the router can use one of the following methods:

Backup Interface—Backup interface stays in standby mode until the primary interface line protocol is detected as down; then the backup interface is brought up. See the “Configuring Backup Interfaces” section.
Dialer Watch—Dialer watch is a backup feature that integrates dial backup with routing capabilities. See the “Configuring DDR Backup Using Dialer Watch” section.
Floating Static Route—Route through the backup interface has an administrative distance that is greater than the administrative distance of the primary connection route and therefore is not in the routing table until the primary interface goes down. When the primary interface goes down, the floating static route is used. See the “Configuring DDR Backup Using Floating Static Route” section.
Cellular Wireless Modem—To configure the 3G wireless modem as backup with Network Address Translation (NAT) and IPSec on either Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) or code division multiple access (CDMA) networks, see “Cellular Wireless Modem as Backup with NAT and IPSec Configuration” section.

Note You cannot configure a backup interface for the cellular interface or any other asynchronous serial interface.

Configuring DDR Backup Using Dialer Watch

To initiate dialer watch, you must configure the interface to perform dial-on-demand routing (DDR) and backup. Use traditional DDR configuration commands, such as dialer map, for DDR capabilities. To enable dialer watch on the backup interface and create a dialer list, use the following commands in interface configuration mode.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. configure terminal

2. interface type number

3. dialer watch group group-number

4. dialer watch-list group-number ip ip-address address-mask

5. dialer-list dialer-group protocol protocol-name {permit | deny | list access-list-number | access-group}

6. ip access-list access list number permit ip source address

7. interface cellular 0

8. dialer string string

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2	interface type number Router (config)# interface ATM 0	Specifies the interface.
Step 3	dialer watch-group group-number Router(config-if)# dialer watch-group 2	Enables dialer watch on the backup interface.
Step 4	dialer watch-list group-number ip ip-address address-mask Router(config-if)# dialer watch-list 2 ip 10.4.0.254 255.255.0.0	Defines a list of all IP addresses to be watched.
Step 5	dialer-list dialer-group protocol protocol-name {permit \| deny \| list access-list-number \| access-group}> Router(config)# dialer-list 2 protocol ip permit	Creates a dialer list for traffic of interest and permits access to an entire protocol.
Step 6	ip access-list access-list-number permit ip-source-address Router(config)# access list 2 permit 10.4.0.0	Defines traffic of interest. Do not use the access list permit all command to avoid sending traffic to the IP network. This may result in call termination.
Step 7	interface cellular 0 Router (config)# interface cellular 0	Specifies the cellular interface.
Step 8	dialer string string or dialer group dialer-group-number Router (config-if)# dialer string cdma * cdma * Router (config-if)# dialer group 2 * gsm *	CDMA only—dialer string string specifies the dialer script. (The dialer script is defined by using the chat script command). GSM only—dialer group dialer-group-number maps a dialer list to the dialer interface.

Configuring DDR Backup Using Floating Static Route

To configure a floating static default route on the secondary interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode.

Note Make sure you have IP classless enabled on your router.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. configure terminal

2. ip route network-number network-mask { ip address | interface } [ administrative-distance ] [name name]

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode from the terminal.
Step 2	ip route network-number network-mask { ip-address \| interface } [ administrative-distance ] [name name ] Router (config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 Dialer 2 track 234	Establishes a floating static route with the configured administrative distance through the specified interface. A higher administrative distance should be configured for the route through the backup interface, so that the backup interface is used only when the primary interface is down.

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode from the terminal.

Step 2

ip route network-number network-mask { ip-address | interface } [ administrative-distance ] [name name ]

Router (config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 Dialer 2 track 234

Establishes a floating static route with the configured administrative distance through the specified interface.

A higher administrative distance should be configured for the route through the backup interface, so that the backup interface is used only when the primary interface is down.

Cellular Wireless Modem as Backup with NAT and IPSec Configuration

The following example shows how to configure the 3G wireless modem as backup with NAT and IPsec on either GSM or CDMA networks.

Note The receive and transmit speeds cannot be configured. The actual throughput depends on the cellular network service.

Configuring Dial Backup and Remote Management Through the Console Port or Auxiliary Port

When customer premises equipment, such as a Cisco 3900 series ISR, is connected to an ISP, an IP address is dynamically assigned to the router, or the IP address is assigned by the router peer through the centrally managed function. The dial backup feature can be added to provide a failover route in case the primary line fails. Cisco 3900 series ISRs can use the auxiliary port for dial backup and remote management.

Figure 1 shows the network configuration used for remote management access and for providing backup to the primary WAN line.

Figure 1 Dial Backup and Remote Management Through the Auxiliary Port

1	Cisco 3900 series router	A	Main WAN link; primary connection to Internet service provider
2	Modem	B	Dial backup; serves as a failover link for Cisco 3900 routers when primary line goes down
3	PC	C	Remote management; serves as dial-in access to allow changes or updates to Cisco IOS configurations

To configure dial backup and remote management on Cisco 3900 series, Cisco 2900 series, and Cisco 1900 series ISRs, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

Configuring Data Line Backup and Remote Management Through the ISDN S/T Port

This section contains the following topics:

Cisco 3900 series routers can use the ISDN S/T port for remote management. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show two typical network configurations that provide remote management access and backup for the primary WAN line.

Figure 2 shows a dial backup link that goes through a customer premises equipment (CPE) splitter, a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), and a central office (CO) splitter before connecting to the ISDN switch.

Configuring ISDN Settings

Note Traffic of interest must be present in order to activate the backup ISDN line by means of the backup interface and floating static routes methods. Traffic of interest is not needed in order for the dialer watch to activate the backup ISDN line.

To configure your router ISDN interface for use as a backup interface, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

In the example, dialer-list 1 corresponds to dialer-group 1. For details about this command and additional parameters that can be set, see Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference.

Example

The following configuration example configures an aggregated and ISDN peer router.

The aggregator is typically a concentrator router where your Cisco router Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) permanent virtual connection (PVC) terminates. In the following configuration example, the aggregator is configured as a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) server.

The ISDN peer router is any router that has an ISDN interface and can communicate through a public ISDN network to reach your Cisco router ISDN interface. The ISDN peer router provides Internet access for your Cisco router during the ATM network downtime.

! This portion of the example configures the aggregator.

Configuring Third-Party SFPs

Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs) that are not Cisco certified are called third-party SFPs. Cisco approved means the SFPs have undergone rigorous testing with Cisco products and the SFPs are guaranteed to have 100% compatibility.

Third-party SFPs are manufactured by companies that are not on the Cisco-approved Vendor List (AVL). Currently, Cisco ISR G2 routers support only Cisco-approved SFPs. From Release 15.3(2)T, Cisco ISR G2 routers recognize third-party SFPs.

Note Cisco does not provide any kind of support for the third-party SFPs because they are not validated by Cisco.

Restrictions

Supports only 100BASE SFPs and 1000BASE SFPs under two speed configurations:
100 Mbps speed for 100BASE SFPs
1000 Mbps speed for 1000BASE SFPs
Only the following routers and modules support third-party SFPs:
Cisco 2921 Integrated Services Router
Cisco 2951 Integrated Services Router
Cisco 3900 Integrated Services Router
Cisco 3900E Series Integrated Services Routers
Cisco 892-F Gigabit Ethernet Security Router
Cisco 898-EA Gigabit Ethernet Security Router
EHWIC-1GE-SFP

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. service unsupported-transceiver

4. interface type slot/subslot/port number

5. media-type sfp

6. speed value

7. shutdown

8. no shutdown

9. exit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Router> enable	Enables the privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Router# configure terminal	Enters the global configuration mode.
Step 3	service unsupported-transceiver Router(config)# service unsupported-transceiver	Enables third-party SFP support.
Step 4	interface type slot/subslot/port number Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/3/0	Selects an interface to configure.
Step 5	media-type sfp Router(config-if)# media-type sfp	Changes media type to SFP.
Step 6	speed value Router(config-if)# speed 100	Configures the speed of the interface. Note For 100BASE SFPs, configure the speed to 100 Mbps only. Similarly, for 1000BASE SFPs, configure the speed to 1000 Mbps only.
Step 7	shutdown Router(config-if)# shutdown	Disables the interface, changing its state from administratively UP to administratively DOWN.
Step 8	no shutdown Router(config-if)# no shutdown	Enables the interface, changing its state from administratively DOWN to administratively UP.
Step 9	exit Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)#	Exits the configuration mode and returns the global configuration mode.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a third-party SFP on a Cisco ISR G2 Series Router:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config-if)# service unsupported-transceiver

Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/3/0

Router(config-if)# media-type sfp

Router(config-if)# speed 100

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Router(config-if)# exit

Router(config)# exit
