RE: Multilinking more than two ISDN channels [7:33493]
Steve, I looked into the multilink-group command. On CCO I found documentation titled Configuring MLP on Multiple ISDN BRI Interfaces. This looks like what I was looking for. As per the doc it states to enable multilink PPP on multiple ISDN BRI interfaces, I need to set up a dialer rotary interface and configure it for multilink PPP. Then to configure the BRI interfaces separately and add them to the same rotary group. The example shown is as follows: interface BRI0 no ip address encapsulation ppp dialer idle-timeout 2147483 dialer rotary-group 0 dialer load-threshold 1 either ppp multilink interface BRI1 no ip address encapsulation ppp dialer idle-timeout 2147483 dialer rotary-group 0 dialer load-threshold 1 either ppp multilink interface dialer0 ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.252 encapsulation ppp dialer in-band dialer idle-timeout 2147483 dialer map ip next-hop name hostname broadcast dial-string dialer load-thresold 1 either dialer-group 1 ppp authentication chap ppp multilink It looks like there are number of ways to configure multilink PPP on multiple BRI interfaces, such as multilink bundle and dialer profiles. Thank you for your assistance, by pointing out multilink-group, it helped to find the doc.
