2. When you first enter the command, the next unique index is assigned automatically, a
default description is created ( Backup followed by the new index number), and defaults
for primary type, backup type, and all backup timers are created (as shown above).
3. To back up a physical port, enter the numbers for the slot and port to be backed up and
the PPP peer index (which defines ISDN call and PPP parameters). Optionally, you can
modify the timer values (fields 5-7). Below is an example of backing up the port on slot 2,
port 1 with PPP peer index 5.
