Cisco 3620 Multilink Question

[dpu]

I am upgrading my host networkk from a 1.5 Mb to 2Mb. I need to set up a multilink config and not sure how to do it. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Please explain in a little more detail what you require.

To simply say a multilink config is not enough

Reamin positive. The affect on those around you will amaze.

I have a Frame Relay network. Currently I have a full t-1 on my host router which is a 3620. I am essentially increasing the bandwidth by another full T-1, so 3MB. I have addeded another WIC 1T to the router. How would you configure the router to see 3MB instead of 1?

You WILL have to work with your ISP on this, as a PPP multilink is established between your router, and your ISP's router.

You need to agree on a protocol between you and your ISP. Therefore you contact them, and ask to change the protocol to PPP for multilink. It's probably Cisco HDLC currently.

Once you do that, you will have to work with your ISP to set up the PPP Multilink. Most ISP's have there own settings for multilinks, and PPP fragmentation settings. It will probably be like this.

interface Serial0/0
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
ppp multilink group 1

interface Serial0/1
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
ppp multilink group 1

interface Multilink1
ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ppp multilink
ppp multilink fragment disable
ppp multilink group 1
