Basically means that both routers will have the correct IOS version that suppor
ts
"ip ospf demand-circuit". Doesn't mean that both sides have to be defined using
 the command
"ip ospf demand-circuit". The preferred way seems to be is to define "ip ospf d
emand-circuit"
on the router that will be dialing or doing the interface backup.
And the only requirement for the other router is to make sure that it has the I
OS image that
supports "ip ospf demand-circuit".
