2. Configure static routes
   Config# ip route 123.4.35.0 255.255.255.0 192.3.5.5 - sends traffic destined for 123.4.35.0 to 192.3.5.5

   Config-if# no shutdown
   Config-if# encapsulation ppp
   Config-if# dialer-group 1 - applies dialer-list to this interface
   Config-if# dialer map ip 192.3.5.6 name Lab-b 5551212
       connect to lab-b at 5551212 with ip 192.3.5.6 if there is interesting traffic
       can also use “dialer string 5551212” instead if there is only one router to connect to 
   
    
4. Specify interesting traffic
   Config# dialer-list 1 ip permit any
   -or-
   Config# dialer-list 1 ip list 101 - use the access-list 101 as the dialer list 
   
    
5. Other Options
   Config-if# hold-queue 75 - queue 75 packets before dialing
   Config-if# dialer load-threshold 125 either
       -load needed before second line is brought up
       -“125” is any number 1-255, where % load is x/255 (ie 125/255 is about 50%)
       -can check by in, out, or either 
   Config-if# dialer idle-timeout 180
       -determines how long to stay idle before terminating the session
       -default is 120
