Dial-on-Demand Routing
Configuring IP DDR over ISDN
In Figure 11-3, Router A dials Router B and Router B dials Router A over ISDN by means of IP
DDR.

IP Addressing
Use the ip address command to assign an IP address to the ISDN interface. The ISDN interface of
both routers must be on the subnet. Alternatively, you can use the ip unnumbered interface
command instead of the ip address command. The ip unnumbered interface command allows the
ISDN interface to the IP address of a LAN interface as its own.
IP Routing
IP routing between sites can be handled by static routes or a routing protocol such as Routing
Information Protocol (RIP), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP, or Open
Shortest Path First (OSPF). Because they send regular update packets, routing protocols are usually
ill-suited for ISDN networks because they initiate costly connections solely for the purpose of
sending update packets. If you are using RIP or IGRP, you can control update packets by using
snapshot routing. (For a discussion of snapshot routing, see the “Snapshot Routing” section later in
this chapter.
To configure static routes, use the ip route global configuration command. The ip route command
maps IP hosts and networks to an intermediate address. The configuration for the remote router
(Router B) maps all destinations available at the central site to the central site BRI port’s address (the
intermediate address).
Note If the central site is running a routing protocol, the central site router must use the
redistribute router configuration command with the static keyword to redistribute the static routes
for the remote site.
