Configuring Dial Backup and Remote Management
When static routes are configured, the primary interface protocol must go down in order to activate the
Note
floating static route.
Configuring Floating Static Routes
Static and dynamic routes are the two components of floating static routes. Perform these steps to
configure the static and dynamic routes on your router, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command
Step 1
ip route prefix mask {ip-address | interface-type
interface-number [ip-address]}
Example:
Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
22.0.0.2
Router(config)#
Step 2
ip route prefix mask {ip-address | interface-type
interface-number [ip-address]} [distance]
Example:
Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
192.168.2.2 150
Router(config)#
Step 3
router rip
Example:
Router(config)# router rip
Router(config)#
Step 4
network ip-address
Example:
Router(config)# network 22.0.0.0
Router(config)#
Step 5
ip route prefix mask {ip-address | interface-type
interface-number [ip-address]} [distance]
Example:
Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
192.168.2.2 150
Router(config)#

Dial Backup Feature Activation Methods
Purpose
Assigns the primary static route.
Assigns the lower routing administrative distance
value for the backup interface route. 192.168.2.2
is the peer IP address of the backup interface.
Enables RIP routing.
Defines the primary interface network. 22.0.0.0 is
the network value of the primary interface.
Assigns the lower routing administrative distance
value for the backup interface route. 192.168.2.2
is the peer IP address of the backup interface.
