Hi - I'm trying to rewrite cisco configs for a very small client with cisco routers, frame, and isdn dial backup. They are using both ipx (rip) and ip (eigrp). I'm using floating static ip and ipx routes to cause the isdn interface to dial when there is interesting traffic and the frame interface is down. It works fine. When the frame connection is down and the dial connection is up, I can see ipx saps on the remote network (i.e, each router knows about saps on the remote net). When the dial circuit drops, the ipx rip routes are removed in 240 sec (so far, so good) but the saps disappear at the same time, despite: 1. the "ipx update interval sap changes-only" command in the dialer interfaces, and 2. the floating static routes to the ipx net with the ipx server 3. the dial map command in each dial interface that shows the phone number for the remote dialer interface Why, when the rip routes age out, aren't the floating static routes sufficient for keeping the saps in the sap table? As an alternative, I've tried running ipx eigrp on my frame connection and ipx rip with snapshot routing on my dial up ... the theory being that when the frame connection drops and the eigrp routes go away, the snapshot rip routes will be there, but no dice! I guess IPX administrative distance doesn't work like IP? Or perhaps IPX RIP routes can only be installed in the ipx route table when they are learned? Help, my brain hurts!
