DDR Prevent modem redialing after link failure

Hi all,

I have a modem configured to access the Internet via async interface. I'm using DDR and was wondering if there is a way to limit the number of redial attempts, if the link fails? My ISP only allows 4 hour sessions, so I don't want my modem redialing every 4 hours.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ben.

check out the " dialer persistent max-attempts" command

interface dialer 0 dialer persistent max-attempts 2

Ben, if you're not doing dialer persistent, check out the Dialer Redial Enhancements:

looks like that feature provides a lot more control

Thanks for those tips guys. I had a look at the dialer redial function, but still no luck. I tried setting the redial to 0 using:

dialer redial interval 5 attempts 0

but get the message: %cannot apply attemps as 0 when re-enable timeout is not configured.

Setting the re-enable feature reenables the interface after the timer expires and so the interface redials... I'm not doing dialer persistent, btw.

There must be a way to completely shutdown the dialer interface, if the connection fails?

Thanks again,

Ben.
