735.0. "Dial on demand network connection" by OTOOA::kap430.kao.dec.com::mbaker () Tue Feb 25 1997 18:37

Hi,


Is it possible to do the following :



	PC-----Cisco router
			!
			!
			ISDN
			!
			!
			!
			!
		Cisco Router
			!
			!
		-----------------
		SAP servers

The PC need access to SAP, However, the customer wants the cisco 
router to be configured for dial on demand so that the ISDN link is 
up only when a sap transaction is required. However, they would like 
to avoid loging in to sap every time. Is there any keepalive packets 
sent and/or required after the sap connection is established ????

Is there anybody else doing this ???

Tx

Michel,

One of our customers uses ISDN to connect to SAP's OSS and the router 
(not clear if it's cisco or not) brings up the dial-up connection at the 
first connect request and drops it after an inactivity time out.

Works fairly well, but there is a slight delay during the dial-up connection. 
There was some early startup problems, but they were mostly due to lack of 
ISDN circuits into Foster City.
