Synopsis
async mode {dedicated | interactive}
no async mode {dedicated | interactive}Configures
The mode the user receives when connecting to an async interface
Default
Disabled
Description
The mode can either be dedicated or
interactive.
-
dedicated The interface is reserved for PPP and SLIP connections. No user prompt ever appears on a dedicated line when a user connects. Instead, the connection parameters are negotiated automatically.
-
interactive Users are given a prompt when they connect to this interface. It is up to the user to start PPP or SLIP, or to interact directly with the router from the command prompt. The
autoselectcommand can be used to detect PPP packets on an interactive async line and start PPP automatically.autoselectis not needed on dedicated mode async lines.
Example
On the first interface (async1), we set up a
dedicated interface, which means that an IOS prompt doesn’t
appear when a user connects to the router through this interface. We
make the second interface interactive, allowing the user to enter IOS
commands and requiring her to start PPP or SLIP manually.
