Pardon if I am dropping in on a private conversation and am not understanding the question...<br />
<br />
If your definition of &quot;remote network&quot; means &quot;a network where a dial technology needs to be used to connect&quot; than yes. &nbsp;However, I have never heard of this definition for a remote network. &nbsp;A dialer group is only used in asynchronous and ISDN type connections where dial technologies are used. &nbsp;In Frame Relay, Ethernet, etc a network can be remote but there is no need for a dialer group.<br />
<br />
Also if you want to get technical on Mikecr's definition - a dialer group does not &quot;use&quot; interesting traffic. &nbsp;A dialer list defines interesting traffic (via an access list or directly with the command) and a dialer group attaches that list to an interface. &nbsp;It is referred to as a &quot;group&quot; because you can attach a particular list to multiple interfaces.

If your definition of "remote network" means "a network where a dial technology needs to be used to connect" than yes.  However, I have never heard of this definition for a remote network.  A dialer group is only used in asynchronous and ISDN type connections where dial technologies are used.  In Frame Relay, Ethernet, etc a network can be remote but there is no need for a dialer group.

Also if you want to get technical on Mikecr's definition - a dialer group does not "use" interesting traffic.  A dialer list defines interesting traffic (via an access list or directly with the command) and a dialer group attaches that list to an interface.  It is referred to as a "group" because you can attach a particular list to multiple interfaces.

Is dialer group needed in order to connect to remote network?

One last question for mikecr

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
