Nick, I managed to do some experiment with my home lab. When I ignored the dialer keyword at the server side, the server end will not treat the routing updates (ie. sending of routing updates) as interesting. As a result, the idle timeout (default 120sec) will count down till zero. Hence, the server will disconnect the ISDN call after 120sec even if the snapshot active timer is not yet due. However, if the keyword is present, every time an update is sent, the idle time-out is reset back to 120sec and the ISDN link is kept up until the snapshot timer expires.
>From my observation, I think you can ignore the keyword if you are applying the snapshot on serial interfaces or any interfaces which doesn't dial out. Purely my guess.
