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
dialer bundle-member
dialer circular enable
dialer peer-name
dialer disconnect
Use dialer disconnect to disconnect dialup links on an interface.
Syntax
dialer disconnect [ interface interface-type interface-number ]
Views

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
No packets are buffered on a dialup interface.
Views
Dialup 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 Serial 2/1/0.
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] 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
Dialup 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
This command takes effect only when the autodial keyword is specified in the dialer number or dialer route command. 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 Serial 2/1/0.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] dialer timer autodial 60
dialer number
dialer route
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
Dialup 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 Serial 2/1/0.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] 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
Dialup 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 Serial 2/1/0.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] 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
Dialup 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 Serial 2/1/0.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] 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
Dialup 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 Serial 2/1/0 to dialer group 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] dialer-group 1 rule acl 3101
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] dialer-group 1
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.

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 Serial 2/1/0 with dialer group 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] dialer-group 1 rule ip permit
[Sysname] interface serial 2/1/0
[Sysname-Serial2/1/0] dialer-group 1
# Create dialer group 1 and configure DDR to place calls for IPv6 packets. Associate Serial 2/1/0 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
This command is supported on distributed devices and IRF-capable centralized devices.
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 slot 2 as the primary traffic processing slot for Dialer 1.

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
[Sysname] interface dialer 1
[Sysname-Dialer1] timer-hold retry 10
