backup monitoring

This command selects which of the device's other interfaces, needs to be monitored.

This command configures the cellular 3G connection in “backup” mode, where the connection is initiated only if another interface goes down.

To return to “primary” mode – where the cellular 3G connection is always up – use the “no” form of this command.

This command is available in the “conf-cellular” configuration context.
