Configuring Backup Data Lines and Remote
Management
Cisco 3900 series, Cisco 2900 series, and Cisco 1900 series integrated services routers (ISRs) support
remote management and backup data connectivity by means of ISDN.
The following sections describe how to configure backup data lines and remote management:

Configuring the Backup Interface
When the router receives an indication that the primary interface is down, the backup interface is
enabled. After the primary connection is restored for a specified period, the backup interface is disabled.
Note
For dial-on-demand routing (DDR) backup, even if the backup interface comes out of standby mode, the
router does not enable the backup interface unless the router receives the traffic specified for that backup
interface.
To configure the router with a backup interface, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration
mode.
