Hi,

It is ask to back up when route learn over frame-relay is disappeared . so
when any route disappear there will be a
change in topology and isdn link will be up as per ip ospf demand circuit.

So i don't understand why ip ospf demand circuit will not work.
Dialer-watch will work, no doubt about it. But it will keep the link up
till the watch route will come up,
even though there is no traffic to send. But in ip ospf demand circuit the
route will be there in the route table via
isdn int but the isdn link will be down , it will come up when there will
any interesting traffic.

Could some body explain me why one will prefer dialer watch vs ip ospf
demand circuit.

Thanks,
Beda
