AS5300 RAS and Dial Backup

[jon.tucker]

We have an AS5300 that currently supports 5 RAS dial-in users. I would like to expand the use of the AS5300 to also be a dial backup solution for some of our remote branch routers. These routers will be using a mixture of ISDN (BRI) and Analog (Async wic-1am) for their dial back up. I also need to run EIGRP over the dial backup links to support the remote LAN failover.

I've compiled a proposed configuration that I think might work for this solution. My main question is how will the AS5300 be able to know which Async interface to use when a remote user needing interactive session dials in versus a remote router.

Please take a look at my proposed config and give me some feedback on if you think this will work. Thanks!!

One way I would do this is to define 5 additional Dialer interfaces for the 5 RAS dial-in users and bind them to int Group-Async 1 using dialer-pool 1.

The 5 new dialer interfaces will be configured for async mode interactive.
