I am new to cisco and am hoping there is somewhere here who can answer a few questions for me.
Pertinent Information:
Two T1's(same ISP) terminated into a Cisco 4500 Series Router.
Class C, 253 ip's split up and routed over the two ethernet interfaces.
We added a client who needs a 3meg pipe and in a hurry.
Purchased another T1(no additional ip's).
Need to bond the two in order to create that 3meg pipe.
Do I have to or need to assign an ip to the multilink interface?
Do I have to add another gateway for the second T1 installed in order to produce functionality? I can ping it(The serial interface) now from outside the network.
Is there something in particular I need to do in order to activate mlp?
I want to route the class c over the multilink interface. I have had the original T1 up and routing for a few weeks without a hitch. I am not sure if I will need to edit the ether interfaces and add new route statements or if I can leave those in tact. I was thinking I would need to attach the route statements to the multilink interface once the two are bonded?
I have followed the instructions provided in the turorial above. I created the multilink interface. I have added the 2nd T1 serial interface(ser1) to the multilink group. I set the encapsulation for it to ppp since it is obviously not being used yet. I do the same with the the existing serial interface that is currently routing the class c, once they have bonded it on their end?
I just want to make sure I have everything correctly configured before I coordinate with my ISP a time to bond them.
This thread may be annoying to a lot of you cisco guru's and I apologize if that is the case but I could really use some help. I have really enjoyed learning the hardware and the ios and all of its capabilities and hope to continue learning. That is one of the reasons I am doing this myself. Another reason would be that I really can't afford to pay someone that can configure it for me. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I hope that all made some sense.
