Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Usage guidelines

DDR includes traditional DDR and bundle DDR.

Before using bundle DDR, use this command to enable bundle DDR on a dialer interface. Then assign physical interfaces to the corresponding dialer bundle by using the dialer bundle-member command. To enable bundle DDR to receive calls, configure the dialer peer-name command on the dialer interface.

After you configure this command on a dialer interface already enabled with traditional DDR, the system clears the original traditional DDR settings.

The undo dialer bundle enable command clears all bundle DDR settings on the dialer interface.

Examples

# Enable bundle DDR on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer bundle enable

Related commands

dialer bundle-member

dialer circular enable

Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. If you do not specify an interface, this command disconnects dialup links on all interfaces.

Examples

# Disconnect dialup links on Dialer 0.

<Sysname> dialer disconnect interface dialer0

dialer queue-length

Use dialer queue-length to set the number of packets that can be buffered on a dialup interface.

Use undo dialer queue-length to restore the default.

Syntax

dialer queue-length packets

undo dialer queue-length

Default

Views

Dialer interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

packets: Specifies the number of packets that can be buffered on the interface, in the range of 1 to 100.

Usage guidelines

If no connection is available when a dialup interface without a buffer queue receives a packet, the interface drops the packet. Configured with a buffer queue, the dialup interface buffers the packet until a connection is available for packet sending.

Examples

# Set the number of packets that can be buffered to 10 on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer queue-length 10

dialer timer autodial

Use dialer timer autodial to set the auto-dial timer.

Use undo dialer timer autodial to restore the default.

Syntax

dialer timer autodial autodial-interval

undo dialer timer autodial

Default

The auto-dial timer is 300 seconds.

Views

Dialer interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

autodial-interval: Specifies the interval between auto-dial attempts, in the range of 1 to 604800 seconds.

Usage guidelines

DDR automatically dials the dial string at the specified interval until a connection is established. In the auto-dial method, dial attempts are not traffic triggered. Once a connection is established, it will not disconnect based on the idle timer mechanism.

Examples

# Set the auto-dial timer to 60 seconds on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer timer autodial 60

dialer timer enable

Use dialer timer enable to set the link holddown timer.

Use undo dialer timer enable to restore the default.

Syntax

dialer timer enable interval

undo dialer timer enable

Default

The link holddown timer is 5 seconds.

Views

Dialer interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

interval: Specifies the holddown timer value in the range of 5 to 65535 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The holddown timer starts when a link is disconnected. A call attempt to bring up this link can be made only after the timer expires. This is to prevent a remote SPCS from being overloaded.

To leave enough time for callback, set the holddown timer on the client 10 or more seconds longer than that on the server. As a best practice, set the link holddown timer to 5 seconds (the default) on the server, and 15 seconds on the client.

Examples

# Set the link holddown timer to 15 seconds for Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer timer enable 15

dialer timer idle

Use dialer timer idle to set the link idle-timeout timer.

Use undo dialer timer idle to restore the default.

Syntax

dialer timer idle idle [ in | in-out ]

undo dialer timer idle

Default

The link idle-timeout timer is 120 seconds, and only outgoing interesting packets reset this timer.

Views

Dialer interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

idle: Specifies the link idle-timeout timer value in the range of 0 to 65535 seconds.

in: Allows only incoming interesting packets to reset the timer.

in-out: Allows both incoming and outgoing interesting packets to reset the timer.

Usage guidelines

The link idle-timeout timer starts when a link is established. If no interesting packets arrive before the timer expires, DDR disconnects the link.

If you do not specify the in or in-out keyword, only outgoing interesting packets reset the timer.

If the timer is set to 0, DDR will never disconnect the link. For a PPPoE client application, if the timer is set to 0, a dialup connection is created automatically and remains active permanently.

Examples

# Set the link idle-timeout timer to 50 seconds on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer timer idle 50

dialer timer wait-carrier

Use dialer timer wait-carrier to set the wait-carrier timer.

Use undo dialer timer wait-carrier to restore the default.

Syntax

dialer timer wait-carrier wait-carrier

undo dialer timer wait-carrier

Default

The wait-carrier timer is 60 seconds.

Views

Dialer interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

wait-carrier: Specifies the wait-carrier timer value in the range of 0 to 65535 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The wait-carrier timer limits the amount of time that DDR waits for a connection to be established for a call. The wait-carrier timer starts when a call is placed. If the connection is not established before the timer expires, DDR terminates the call.

Examples

# Set the wait-carrier timer to 100 seconds on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer timer wait-carrier 100

dialer-group

Use dialer-group to assign a dialup interface to a dialer group.

Use undo dialer-group to restore the default.

Syntax

dialer-group group-number

undo dialer-group

Default

A dialup interface does not belong to any dialer group.

Views

Dialer interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

group-number: Specifies a dialer group by its number in the range of 1 to 255. Before the assignment, you must create the dialer group by using the dialer-group rule command.

Usage guidelines

A dialup interface can belong to only one dialer group. If you configure this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

You must configure this command for DDR to send packets.

Examples

# Assign Dialer 1 to dialer group 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] dialer-group 1 rule ip acl 3101

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer-group 1

Related commands

dialer-group rule

dialer-group rule

Use dialer-group rule to create a dialer group and configure a dial rule for it.

Use undo dialer-group rule to delete a dialer group.

Syntax

dialer-group group-number rule { ip | ipv6 } { deny | permit | acl { acl-number | name acl-name } }

undo dialer-group group-number rule [ ip | ipv6 ]

Default

No dialer group exists.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

group-number: Specifies the number of the dialer group to be created, in the range of 1 to 255.

ip: Specifies the IPv4 protocol.

ipv6: Specifies the IPv6 protocol.

deny: Denies packets of the specified protocol.

permit: Permits packets of the specified protocol.

acl acl-number: Specifies an ACL by its number in the range of 2000 to 3999.

name acl-name: Specifies an ACL by its name.

Usage guidelines

A dial rule determines when an interface initiates DDR calls. You need to configure dial rules only on the initiator of DDR calls.

You can configure a dial rule to match only IP packets or use an ACL to match packets.

Permitted protocol packets or packets that match a permit statement of an ACL are interesting packets. When receiving an interesting packet, DDR performs one of the following operations:

·     Sends it out and resets the idle-timeout timer if a link is present.

·     Originates a new call to establish a link if no link is present.

Denied protocol packets or packets that match a deny statement of an ACL are uninteresting packets. When receiving an uninteresting packet, DDR performs one of the following operations:

·     Sends it out without resetting the idle-timeout timer if a link is present.

·     Drops it if no link is present.

For DDR to forward packets correctly, you must configure a dial rule and associate it with the dialup interface by using the dialer-group command.

Examples

# Create dialer group 1 and configure DDR to place calls for IPv4 packets. Associate Dialer 1 with dialer group 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] dialer-group 1 rule ip permit

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] dialer-group 1

# Create dialer group 1 and configure DDR to place calls for IPv6 packets. Associate Dialer 1 with dialer group 1.

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies a card by its slot number. (In standalone mode.)

chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies a card on an IRF member device. The chassis-number argument represents the member ID of the IRF member device. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the card. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

Specify traffic processing slots if a feature requires that all traffic on a dialer interface be processed on the same slot.

For high availability, you can specify one primary and one backup traffic processing slot by using the service command and the service standby command, respectively.

To avoid processing slot switchover, specify the primary slot before specifying the backup slot. If you specify the backup slot before specifying the primary slot, traffic is switched over to the primary slot immediately after you specify the primary slot.

If you specify both primary and backup slots for an interface, traffic on that interface is processed as follows:

·     The backup slot takes over when the primary slot becomes unavailable. The backup slot continues to process traffic for the interface after the primary slot becomes available again. The switchover will not occur until the backup slot becomes unavailable.

·     When no specified traffic processing slots are available, the traffic is processed on the slot at which it arrives. Then, the processing slot that first becomes available again takes over.

If you do not specify a primary or a backup traffic processing slot for an interface, traffic on that interface is processed on the slot at which the traffic arrives.

Examples

# Specify a primary traffic processing slot for Dialer 1.

mdc-admin

Parameters

seconds: Specifies the interval for sending keepalive packets, in the range of 0 to 32767 seconds. The value 0 disables keepalive packet sending.

Usage guidelines

On an interface encapsulated with PPP, the data link layer sends keepalive packets at keepalive intervals to detect the availability of the remote end. The data link layer determines that the peer end is down if it has not received any keepalive messages when the keepalive retry limit is reached. The data link layer then reports the link down event to the upper-layer protocols.

To set the keepalive retry limit, use the timer-hold retry command.

On a slow link, increase the keepalive interval to prevent false shutdown of the interface. This situation might occur when keepalive packets are delayed because a large packet is being transmitted on the link.

Examples

# Set the keepalive interval to 1000 seconds on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface dialer 1

[Sysname-Dialer1] timer-hold 1000

Parameters

retries: Specifies the maximum number of keepalive retransmission attempts, in the range of 1 to 255.

Usage guidelines

The interface determines that the remote end is down if it has not received a keepalive response when the keepalive retry limit is reached.

On a slow link, increase the keepalive retry limit to prevent false shutdown of the interface. This situation might occur when keepalive packets are delayed because a large packet is being transmitted on the link.

Examples

# Set the keepalive retry limit to 10 on Dialer 1.

<Sysname> system-view
