Set up two dialers, whichever comes up wins?
I've had an attempt to create such a config using a Cisco 887VA
(15.2(4)M3) but I can't find any way to get two dialers to work for
one ATM (ADSL) inteface. I don't suppose anyone here has succeeded
with and wishes to share such a config?
My lab testing has shown that with two dialer interfaces assigned to
one ATM interface, only one dialer will initiate a PPP dial-in. If I
shut that one dialer down the second dialer will dial-in using the
credentials of the first dialer though indicating that only one set of
credendtials can be specified per PVC or per ATM interface despite
both dialers having different sets of PPP authentication details
configured.
I have seen exactly this problem as well, and could not find a workaround.
IIRC, the root cause was/is the fact that a dialer is always 'up' even
if PPP has failed.
