How to MLPPP over 2 Serial T1 interface on a 2600 router with 12.0(3)T3 IOS

[lingyu]

I have 2 2600 routers that connected back to back through 1 V.35 T1 and 1 CT1. I would like to configure MLPPP over two T1 links. Is this doable? If it is. How?

Possible, yes. Recommended, no. When dealing with just two t1's it really not recommended to the the overhead that is required tun ppp multilink. It would be better to just load balance on a per packet basis by turning off fast-switching (no ip route-cache on interface). But if you still want to run ppp multilink then here is the link that shows you how to do it using virtual-templates. You can also use multilink intefaces.

Hope this helps.

Hi Henry,

Do you know of any URL/technical document that compares the performance of MLPPP links versue load balancing on a per-packet basis?

Thanks,
