no dialer-group number
            

Configures

Associates an interface with a dialer group

Default

None

Description

This command adds the interface to the dialer group specified by number. An interface can have only one dialer group associated with it. Each dialer group has an associated access list that defines “interesting” traffic for this interface. If the traffic is permitted by the access list, a call is initiated for the interface if the interface is not already connected.

Example

The following commands add the async1 interface to dialer-group 1. access-list 110 specifies the traffic that causes this interface to initiate a call; in this case, ICMP traffic doesn’t bring up the connection, but any other IP traffic does. Note that this access list does not block ICMP traffic once the link is up; it just prevents ICMP traffic from bringing it up in the first place.
