Jack,

If I understand your problem correctly, the ISDN and T1 interfaces end up at
the same far-side (farthest from the Servers Alive box) IP address.  So
pinging that address will be of no value.

Can you add a secondary IP address on the far-side interface you want to
monitor and use that address just for monitoring?  If you're out of
addresses based on subnetting, you could add a new non-routable address to
the far-side ISDN interface and a static route on the near-side router to
that address, via the near-side ISDN interface.

Subject: [SA-list] Checking ISDN backup interface.


I have Servers Alive monitoring a router on the remote end of a T1. I have
an ISDN backup to that router, so if the line goes down it is picked up by
the ISDN backup.

I want servers alive to be able to monitor the ISDN link, but I can't ping
the ip address of the ISDN link because it will appear up all the time.

I started working on a batch file that did a tracert and find commands, but
I was wondering if anyone had a smoother solution

Thanks
Jack
