My question is about being able to use multiple Virtual-Templates for PPP Multilink applications. Picture this: A router (3640) configured to handle analog and ISDN dial-up via ISDN PRI and Mica modems that also has 2 point-to-point T1s attached to it's serial ports for WAN connectivity. Currently, the 2 point-to-point T1s are configured for multilink, and I have multilink setup to use Virtual-Template1. The way I understand it by giving the command "multilink virtual-template 1", any interface configured to use multilink will attempt to use the virtual-template1 and join the virtual-access1 multilink bundle (and perhaps upon attempting this, it realizes the endpoints aren't the same and it creates another virtual-access interface for the "new" bundle, but that's another issue =). However, I would like to enable ppp multilink on the ISDN lines so that people dialing in with ISDN (BRI) can bond both channels. Is there a way to specify for the Dialer interface (or whateve) to use ppp multilink but to use, say, Virtual-Template 2 (so that I could configure Virtual-Template2 specifically for ISDN dial-up).
I've been digging around Cisco's site, and the main article I found on configuring Virtual-Templates/Profiles says one limitation is: "Although a system can have as many as 25 virtual template interfaces, one template for each virtual access application is a more realistic limit. " This seems to imply that I could setup a template the for WAN multilink "application" and another for the ISDN "application". Am I reading this wrong? This question comes more out of curiousity than anything else. We have other routers setup with T1 multilinks to a few sites, and they all use the same Virtual-Template, and that's not a big deal.... But I was curious to know if it were possible to have multilink somehow specify which Virtual-Template to use depending on the interface type or application... TIA, Mike W.
