Configuring auto-dial
Auto-dial can be used with C-DCC but not RS-DCC. With auto-dial enabled, DCC automatically dials the remote end of connection upon each device startup without requiring a triggering packet. If the connection cannot be established, it will retry at certain intervals. The established connection does not disconnect due to timeout of the idle-timeout timer as it would in the traffic-triggered dial approach. Its configuration thus voids the dialer timer idle command.
To configure auto-dial:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter dialup interface (physical or dialer interface) view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Configure one or multiple destination addresses and dial strings that can be auto-dialed. | dialer route protocol next-hop-address [ mask network-mask-length ] [ user hostname | broadcast ] * dial-number autodial [ interface interface-type interface-number ] | By default, auto-dial is disabled. |
4. Set the auto-dial interval. | dialer timer autodial seconds | Optional. The default setting is 300 seconds. |
