Enabling an ISDN Interface as a Secondary Connection (Optional)

Continuous network connectivity is important to every network and crucial for businesses that depend on network connectivity for day-to-day operations and important business applications. The Services Router can be configured to fail over to the ISDN interface when the primary connection experiences interruptions in Internet connectivity.

ISDN backup connectivity is supported on all interfaces except ls-0/0/0.

To configure an interface for backup connectivity:

  1. Navigate to the top of the interfaces configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 44.
  3. If you are finished configuring the router, commit the configuration.
  4. To verify that the network interface is configured correctly, see Verifying the ISDN Configuration.
