I've got a Cisco 3640 with 128M/32M RAM. There are 2x NM-2FE2W and 4x
WIC-1DSU-T1 cards installed. The configurations for the interfaces are
below. I have 4 point-to-point T1s coming into this router. 3 T1s are
coming from another 3640 at one office (A) and the other T1 is coming
from a 2514 at another office (B). I control all 3 routers.
I've been using Multilink PPP to give my users a 3M pipe over 2 of the
T1s at office A. I had a 3rd T1 installed in order to bump it up to
4.5M. Office B is serviced by a the single (fourth) T1.
Before the new T1 was installed everything worked fine (2 T1s using
MLPPP to office A and 1 T1 to office B). Now, with all 4 lines running,
the 3rd MLPPP line won't work (see 'sho int' and 'sho service-module'
below) but the original 3 lines work fine.
Now here's where it gets strange. If I remove the card servicing the T1
to office B and boot up the router, all 3 interfaces come up and MLPPP
works great, providing a 4.5M pipe. Once I shut down the router and
reinsert the card for office B, the 3rd MLPPP lines goes down again. I
tried swapping the office B card/cable with the card(s)/cable(s) from
the 1st and 2nd MLPPP lines and get the exact same results. Same goes
for the card/cable servicing the 3rd MLPPP line.
Am I missing a configuration step? I'm at a loss.
Again, I've swapped WIC cards, NM cards, and cables between all
interfaces and they all work. I've also tried different slots for the
NMs. No difference.
Help! TIA

Really don't find any problem on the hardware or software issue. Did you try to insert NM2FE-2W at slot 0 & 2 or solt 1 & 3 ?
Moreover, did you confirm the linecode is correct that there are may line code volidations.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply!
The framing is ESF on both ends and line code is B8ZS. Like I said above, it's weird because it works if I remove the 4th card.
I'll try the cards in different slots.

Thanks. I can find the linecode and framing from your capture too. Wait for your result.
