Re: OSPF Demand Circuit with Watch List..

The dialer-group will define interesting traffic (with exception of OSPF
hellos) . If the primary link is down, traffic using the auxiliary path will
keep the interface up. Given this fact, why would you use dialer-watch
with ospf demand circuit? The only reason, I can come up with is if your
asked to keep the backup interface up for the duration of the outage or a
certain period after an outage.

I always question backup methodologies, because it just to easy to shed
points in the ISDN section.
