command creates a dialer interface and enters interface configuration mode.

To configure the dialer interface, perform the following tasks:

1. Configure one or more dialer interfaces with all the basic DDR commands:
   • IP address
   • Encapsulation type and authentication
   • Idle-timer
   • Dialer-group for interesting traffic
2. Configure a dialer string and dialer remote-name to specify the remote router name and phone number to dial it. The dialer pool associates this logical interface with a pool of physical interfaces.
3. Configure the physical interfaces and assign them to a dialer pool using the dialer pool-member command.

An interface can be assigned to multiple dialer pools by using multiple dialer pool-member commands. If more than one physical interface exists in the pool, use the priority option of the dialer pool-member command to set the priority of the interface within a dialer pool. If multiple calls need to be placed and only one interface is available, then the dialer pool with the highest priority is the one that dials out.

A combination of any of these interfaces may be used with dialer pools:

• Synchronous Serial
• Asynchronous Serial
• BRI
• PRI

Lab Activity Lab Exercise: Configuring Dialer Profiles In this lab, the student will configure ISDN Dialer Profiles on the routers.
