Lab
6.2.6: Configuring Rotary Groups and Dialer Profiles
Objectives:
Configure IOS rotary groups and dialer profiles.
Scenario:
To simplify the configuration of ISDN DDR implementations, Cisco
has created a way for us to separate the configuration of connection
specific information from the BRI interface itself. In this lab you
will assign the BRI interface to a rotary group and then create
dialer profiles for your connections that will use the BRI
interfaces in these rotary groups.
Notes:
Lab Tasks:
Cable the lab as show in the diagram. Use the Adtran Atlas 550
to simulate the ISDN network.
Configure the ISDN BRI interfaces on each router for the
National-ISDN 1 switch type and configure their SPIDs.
Rotary groups assign BRI interfaces into logical groups that
can be used by the dialer profiles.
Assign the BRI interfaces on both the branch router and the
central site router to a rotary group and pool. These rotary
groups/pools are unique to each router:
A rotary group is the legacy term used for dialer pool members.
Dialer profiles allow you to separate the logical interface
configuration from the physical interface itself. This allows us
to have multiple logical configurations (profiles) for an
interface with any unique profile in use at any given time.
Now configure the dialer profiles and passwords on each router:
