another mutlilink interface question

[cormon]

Hi Guys,

I am starting to configure a router with two Bri card in it . It currently work with a dialer interface but this only use two of the 4 available channels . I am lead to believe that in order to use 4 channels I need to setup a miltilink interface and then issue the ppp multilink group under the bri interfaces.

I have two quick question that I need answered.

Firstly do I migrate all the settings from the dialer interface to the Multilink interface and are these all the settings I need ?

Secondly The four channels when setup will dial to Pri on a n alternate cisco router. Is there any changes needed here.

Cant find a definitive answer on Cisco.com

Thanks in advance for your possible answer.....

My recommendation would be to scrap the multilink interface and instead define a dialer interface. You won't be able to use any of the dialer commands (which a dialer interface supports) on the multilink interface. Your config above has no way of being able to dialout without a dialer string (which a multilink interace won't support)

Enable ppp multilink on all your physical interfaces (BRI's you want multilinking) and the new dialer interface.
