Circuit Emulation over IP

b.mcmurry

I have a NM-CEM-4TE1 installed and would like to know if I can run 4 point-to-point circuits to a single location and utilize all 6MB of bandwidth as a single pipe.

Sure, you will want to configure PPP Multilink. Here's a link for reference.

Hope that helps.

This will not work with the CEM T1 card. The current scenario is running circuit emulation over IP on one T1. I wnat to add three more for a total of four and utilize 6MB of bandwidth for CEoIP

Can you just add additional timeslots?

This sample from cisco shows how to do CEM with a channel group.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4/interface/configuration/guide/hbbfeamo.html#wp1118681

What happens if you have multiple T1's in the same CEM group? What happens to the local and remote IP addresses as well as the local and remote udp ports? Same IP addresses ? How is it recognized as being a 6mb pipe?

Yes, you would configure MLPPP for this. Or check if metro service is available.

I do not believe that MLPPP is the answer.

May be I didn't I didn't understood your question, can you explain in different words what you need to do, what is connected to what.

I have 4 T1 circuits that are Point-To-Point circuits. I have two routers with the config below. I have not been able to bring up the connection using CEMoIP. Is there something I am missing.

Hi, if you're trying to connect the two routers over the WAN T1 circuits, using the CEM interfaces, I don't think is not possible to do so.

To confirm that, confirm that is not possible to configure a channel-group under controller T1.

The CEM interfaces can be used only to connect devices for which you want to provide CEM services, and not as WAN interface for general network connectivity.

I have cem groups configured under the T1 controllers. See the config....

This is also a "Cisco Sample Config" that has the same type of connectivity. see this link..

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4/interface/configuration/guide/hbbfeamo.html#wp1118681

Hi, as mentioned before, the point is that the T1 controllers for the CEM card are meant to to be connected to device for which you are providing CEM.

It cannot be used for general WAN connectivity as you can note that by lack of any IP-configurable interface.

I may be wrong but if feel you should be looking for pseudowire solution.

below is the link with more information.

Hope this helps...

The mentioned product appears to be equivalent to the NM that provided circuit emulation services within the familiar IOS infrastructure.

The point here is that from my understanding, a "wrong use" was attempted for the CEM interfaces.
