The requirement is "...when R5 fast0/0 goes down...".
R3 is connected to the same Ethernet segment as R5 so R3 won't be able to
know if R5 Fast is down because it can learn R5's routes via another frame
relay interface.

I still don't like watching a connected interface but I don't see any reason
to not use it ! Is there any one ? If not then we only need the equivalent
commands of backup delay to fulfill the same requirements as the backup
command and even more !!!

Since I don't have the lab in front of me (but I did buy the book and
studied from it and liked it), does it say which side has to do the dialing?
Otherwise, you could have the other side watch the network so you don't have
to watch a directly-connected network.

Kenneth, you passed before the book was edited I think :)
"CCIE Routing and Switching Practice Labs".
James,
it does not say "must" but "should only pass a routing protocol if fast0/0
is down".
But yes, I think you are right and dialer watch should do the job. Although
I find it weird to watch a directly connected interface. Is this good
practice ?

James,
Which practice lab workbook is this from? I've purchased almost all of
them so I should be able to reference the diagram to answer your
question.
Thanks! :)

But ISIS must activate when fa0/0 goes down? :P
I am pretty new in the ISDN field as my experience never used it in the
past. So I ask -- would using dialer-watch also prevent pinging accross
the
ISDN circuit when fa0/0 is up and running, like backup command does?
Thanks for all the good replies!
