Configuring the Dialer

Configuring the Dialer

There are five steps to configuring the dialer information:

1. Choose the interface.

2. Set the IP address.

3. Configure the encapsulation type.

4. Link interesting traffic to the interface.

5. Configure the number or numbers to dial.

Here’s how to configure those five steps:

804A#config t

804A(config)#int bri0

804A(config-if)#ip address 172.16.60.2 255.255.255.0

804A(config-if)#no shut

804A(config-if)#encapsulation ppp

804A(config-if)#dialer-group 1

804A(config-if)#dialer string 8350661

Instead of the dialer string command, you can use a dialer map command. It provides

more security. Here is an example:

804A(config-if)#dialer map ip 172.16.60.10 name 800B

8350661
