Dial-on-Demand Routing

 

• Dial-on-Demand routing refers to a collection of Cisco features that allows two or more Cisco routers to establish a dynamic connection over simple dialup facilities on an as-needed basis and is used for low-volume, periodic network connections over an ISDN network or Public Switched Telephone Network.
  There are five basic steps of DDR operation:
  
  
  
  1. The route to the destination is determined
  
  
  2. Interesting packets dictate a DDR call
  
  
  3. The dialer information is looked up
  
  
  4. Traffic is transmitted
  
  
  5. The call is terminated
  
  


• There are three stages for configuring legacy DDR:
  
  
  
  1. Define the static route
  
  
  2. Specify interesting traffic
  
  
  3. Configure the dialer information
  
  


• When using static routes, all participating routers must have static routes defined so that they can reach the remote networks. This requirement is necessary because static routes replace routing updates


• Interesting traffic, which triggers a DDR call, is designated by an administrator and can be defined on the basis of a variety of criteria, such as protocol type or addresses for source or destination hosts.


• The dialer information configuration process consists of four steps:
  
  
  
  1. Select the physical interface for the dial-up line
     
  2. Configure its network address
     
  3. Configure the encapsulation type
     
  4. Link the interesting traffic definition to the interface
     


• To configure legacy DDR, define the static routes with the, ip route command, specify interesting traffic with the dialer list command, and configure dialer information with the dialer group command
