GSM back up on a c881G would this work?

Brent Rockburn · ‎11-19-2008

I want to be using the 3G as a back up incase the DSL or Cable goes down. Does this look like it would work as the back up portion of the config or am I completely off my rocker.

Thanks in advance.

When the router receives an indication that the primary interface is down, the backup interface becomes enabled. After the primary connection has been restored for a specified period, the backup interface is disabled.

Even if the backup interface comes out of standby mode, the router does not enable the backup interface unless the router receives the traffic specified for that backup interface.
