Joseph,
You can use the backup interface command as well that is how I solved
the issue, very easy procedure to solve it that way. You are correct
the answer key did not have the command listed. I am sorry you are
disappointed with the book, there are so many valuable lessons, I
learned a lot of new techniques from using the book, since it was
written by a CCIE proctor, many people including myself have found the
book very useful. No other Cisco press book has been written by a CCIE
proctor that I know of. Also if you have additional questions, please
check my forum area, on my website, as I try and help people as much as
I can there.

Sincerely,

Subject: ISDN Scenario 5 Cisco Press

The ISDN section in Scenario 5 has me pretty confused because the
debriefing has no backup strategy at all or I must be missing something.
If we make the ISDN a backup interface for the fastethernet, then we
would not be able to ping across the link, hence this is not useable.

I solved this by putting a secondary address on the fastethernet
interface, and using dialer watch to watch this from R3. Granted, R3
will learn this route from both OSPF and ISIS, but this does not seem to
make a difference as far as dialer watch is concerned. This seems to
work whether the interface on R5 is shutdown, or the switchport on SW1
is shutdown.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Just for the record, this book does have quite a few errors. Once again
I am disappointed with the quality of a Cisco Press book. I continue to
hope for more out of Cisco Press, but time and time again I am
disappointed.

Regards to all,
Joe
