How to bound two t1 from the same provider on a cisco 2610

[assalihin]

I have a cisco 2610 ios ver 12.0 with two serials.

One Wan ip from the same provider.

I would like to know how to configure my serial ports and bound them so I get 3mb.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

You can use MLPPP, in its simplest form it should look something like this:

interface multilink 1

ip address x.x.x.x

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

interface serial 0/0

no ip add

encapsulation ppp

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

interface serial 0/1

no ip add

encapsulation ppp

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

The details of the configuration depends on the layer 2 encapsulation between you and the provider.

You would have to coordinate with your provider to have them change their encapsulation to multilink ppp. Then on your router you would have to create the multilink interface as well as change your encapsulation as well.

interface Multilink1

description To Public Internet

bandwidth 3072

ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252 (usually)

ppp multilink

ppp multilink fragment disable

ppp multilink group 1

interface Serial0/0

bandwidth 1536

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

no cdp enable

ppp multilink

ppp multilink group 1

interface Serial0/1

bandwidth 1536

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

ppp multilink

ppp multilink group 1
