Bonding 2 t1's on a 1700 series router

[eelliston]

I have a 1700 series router with 1 t-1 connection. It is connected to a 3600 series router at our main office. We are maxing out our bandwidth and need to add another t-1. Is there a way I can bond 2 t-1s to have basically the same thing as a 3meg connection.

I think I can use Multilink but not really sure of the config. Does anyone have an example for me for using plain old t-1 lines?

thanks!

Hello,

basically, you create a multilink interface and assign both T1 lines to that interface, the config would look like this:

interface Multilink1

ip address 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0

no cdp enable

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

!

interface Serial0/0

description T1 circuit 1

bandwidth 1536

encapsulation ppp

no fair-queue

no cdp enable

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

!

interface Serial0/1

description T1 circuit 2

bandwidth 1536

encapsulation ppp

no cdp enable

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

Depending on your IOS version, the ´multilink-group´ command might have been replaced by ´ppp multilink group´.

HTH,
