Callback
Callback is a dial-on-demand feature for use between two peer routers, such as a
central router and a remote router, over a PPP circuit. You cannot use callback
with frame relay demand circuits or demand circuit groups.
With this feature, you can configure a router to call back an incoming caller. You
can configure callback across any demand circuit, including those configured for
bandwidth-on-demand service.
Callback offers the following advantages:
• Reduces tariffs because you can place calls using the lowest cost path
• Secures access for authorized callers only
• Consolidates accounting of phone charges
Figure 6-1
shows how callback works.
Figure 6-1. Example of Callback over a Demand Circuit
Remote Router A places a call to Central Router B. Router B determines whether
the caller is authorized and, if so, terminates the initial call. Router B then places a
return call to Router A.
