Corresponding Multilink interfaces

erik.kneebone · ‎11-13-2007

I have an MLPPP link between a 7200 and a 2811 router over 2 T1 lines. One of the T1 lines is showing errors on the 2811 side. The catch is whoever setup the 2811 router did not label the serial interfaces with the circuit ID's. Is there any way to determine which T1 is which from the 7200 side without actually shutting down one of the interfaces?

You can do a show cdp neighbor detail and the output should list the source and destination interface.

It doesn't, it only shows it through the Mulitlink interface. CDP is turned on from the global config. Here is that output for the multilink group:

Multilink2, bundle name is XXXXX

Bundle up for 6w3d, 87/255 load

And the show cdp command:

Scotthead#show cdp neighbors Serial1/0/12:0 detail

Scotthead#show cdp neighbors multilink2 detail

CDP itself is turned on from the global config, maybe setting it on the specific interfaces?

Hmm.. interesting --- yeah, I'm afraid bouncing the interface is the only other option I can think of...
