Hi all,

Is there a way via SNMP to make a router dial out?

This is for automated tests on dialer interfaces, i.e. regularly
checking that physically everything is correct.

I used to do this via the ping MIB (with certain pings authorized to
activate the dialer), but now I need to do this on unnumbered interfaces.

Or can I add a 'bogus' route pointing out the dialer interface, and
then ping the destination of that route? I should point out that this
is with dialer watch, so there is no 'dialer group' on the dialer
interface.

Any ideas?

Thanks, and cheers

Michel
