RIP over ISDN

Hi,

Tests show that 'ip rip triggered' updates build a stable ISDN link.

Do you agree?

When main interface is up, traffic goes over serial.
When main interface goes down, traffic goes over ISDN.
If there is no traffic, BRI goes down and remain on that state until there is traffic to remote router or there is any routing update.

This is the config used:

interface Dialer50
 description RIP
 ip address 148.5.45.8 255.255.255.0
 ip rip triggered
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 50
 dialer string 4441111111
 dialer-group 2
 ppp authentication chap
!
dialer-list 2 protocol ip list 122
!
access-list 122 permit ip any any

Rack2R5#sh ip rip da | b 148.5.147
148.5.226.0/24
    [10] via 148.5.45.4, 00:31:53 (permanent), Dialer50

If BRI goes down because of no traffic, this entry is still on the RIB, avoiding routing changes and do not activate BRI.

I am considering that snapshot is not used anymore on the lab. I remember to read it someplace. If it is true, then 'ip rip triggered' and dialer-watched would be the options to avoid flapping on BRI. Agree?
