On the contrary, when the ratio of the traffic on N (N is an integer greater than or equal
to 2) links to the bandwidth of N-1 links is less than the specified threshold, a link is
dropped. When only one link is left in the MP bundle, whether and when to disconnect it
depends on the timer configured using the dialer timer idle command. So far, this
command is not available with physical interfaces. It is only applicable to dialer
interfaces and must be used together with the ppp mp command.
With traffic-percentage set to 0, the router does not look at the ratio of traffic to
bandwidth when making calls to bring up links. Rather, all the available links come up
automatically. As for links that already exist, they are not torn down because of timeout.
Simply put, the dialer threshold 0 command voids the dialer timer idle command.

Example
# Set the traffic threshold on Dialer1 to 80%.
[3Com -Dialer1] dialer threshold 80
1.1.15 dialer timer autodial
Syntax
dialer timer autodial seconds
undo dialer timer autodial
View
Physical or dialer interface view
Parameter
seconds: Interval before the next call attempt, ranging from 1 to 604800 in units of
second. The default interval is 300 seconds.
Description
Use the dialer timer autodial command to configure the automatic dialing interval of
DCC.
Use the undo dialer timer autodial command to resume the default interval.
This command should be used together with the auto-dial keyword in the dialer route
command. DCC will automatically attempt to dial at intervals of seconds until the
connection is established. The automatic dialing function is independent of the trigger
with data packets and the established connection will not be automatically cut for
timeout. That is, the configuration of the dialer timer idle command does not affect it.
Related command: dialer route.
