You should ask you carrier what type of cards they are terminating the T1 lines to. Most carriers support IMA and all u need is properly configure your IMA group. If however you carrier have delivered three T1 in the form of three separate local loops and they are terminating your access to T1 cards then you have to: load balance/Share on ur 7200 using L3 ( such as equal cost load balancing through static routes or whatever). The problem of this setup is that it each local loop is required to have it own subnet. You will have to configure your ATM-IMA adaptor in what we call pass-through mode (which necessarily implies that each port functions as an individual T1 port without the benefits of IMA).
The IMA-Mux you're looking for is useless for your case.. since all the IMA mux do is take a single input (normally E10) and delivers an inverse muxed stream (meaning ATM cells belonging to the same connection split over several outgoing links) If ur carrier is doing the latter I suggest u save ur self the headache and dump them :-)))) ""Adam Wang"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi group, > > I have a few 7200 with ATM-CES adapters in them.
