How to aggregate bandwidth from 2 FR PVCs

[dukenukem]

I want to combine the bandwidth of two PVCs 128 kbps each to give me a total of 256 kbps.

I will have one access-point 256 kbps(FR modem) and on they can only give me 2 x 128 kbps PVCs.

What is the configuration to combine the bandwidth of the PVCs ???

I hope u can help me.

Thanks,

George

Hi,

You could possibly using multilink PPP over frame-relay.

Pls see the following link for details.

Hello,

this would be a sample configuration for combining two PVC´s using PPP multilink:

interface Multilink1

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

!

interface Serial0/0

encapsulation frame-relay

no frame-relay inverse-arp

!

interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point

frame-relay interface-dlci 102 ppp Virtual-Template1

!

interface Serial0/0.2 point-to-point

frame-relay interface-dlci 103 ppp Virtual-Template1

!

interface Virtual-Template1

ppp multilink

multilink-group 1

Hi,

Thank you for your replies.

My new question is:

a. If i replace the ip address and the DLCIs the ISP will give me this should work fine right ???

b. Does the ISP need to do anything on his site ???? ie. do i need to inform them that i am about to do multilink ppp over FR ???

Thank you again,

George

Hello George,

indeed, replace the IP address and the DLCIs with what your ISP has given you. The ISP router needs to be configured in the same way, so you will have to tell, or ask, your provider to support this type of configuration.
