Virtual template interface vs Dialer interface?

[nitass]

Hi all,

I am little confusing about virtual template interface and dialer interface. I understood that both of them are logical interface and will be mapped to physical interface dynamically. What is different? When would I use virtual template interface or dialer interface?

Please suggest too.

Thanks a lot,

Nitass

hi

AFAIK we use virtual template in L2TP scenarios where you will have LAC and LNS .

the configs related to VT comes in LNS which is ur local network server for your remote clients from where the L2 tunnel gets orginated.

And about your dialer interfaces we use them very frequently in most of the situations like where you require to club 2 Physical isdn lines and to make use them as a single pipe or using single isdn line and connect it to 2 different locations using 2 B channels using 2 dialers...

if you need to know more about them would suggest to check out this link which will give fair idea about them..
