You could create multiple dialer interfaces, one that is for
backup and one that is just for testing the circuit. For older IOSes
you can get an IP SLA like tracking of the end to end circuit status by
using a GRE tunnel. Configure a tunnel between two endpoints and add
the "keepalive" command on it. Put the "backup interface dialer2"
command on the tunnel, or whatever interface you want to use as backup,
then if there is not end-to-end IP transit in the tunnel path it will
trigger the backup link once the tunnel keepalive expires. This is
useful for situations like DSL where your local link to the DSL modem or
DSLAM does not indicate the end-to-end circuit status, where an
end-to-end GRE tunnel would.

Subject: Static routes with tracking
Hi GS / Brians,
I have tested the below configuration successfully with IOS ver 12.4.
The default static route to null 0 is active when IP 1.1.1.1 is
reachable
via BGP so that any routes that are not matched in BGP routes (specific
routes) are dropped with null 0, without sending the traffic to WAN.
When the WAN is down, 1.1.1.1 is not learned by BGP so the default route
to
Null 0 is removed from the routing table & install the default to dialer
1
which kick in the ISDN dial out with Dialer configuration (with
intresting
traffic defined in the configuration) to other end router.
My question is that what are other possible ways to do the same with an
IOS
ver 12.1 which does not have the support of Enhanced Tracking.
One of the requirement here is to keep the dialer to use for testing
(with a
ping to 192.168.1.1) under normal condition (WAN UP). This prevent us
using
the command "backup interface dialer 1" in the configurations.
