Nightmare on MPP street.

Hello all,

I know that this should be a straight forward thing, but there is some very bizzare behavior going on with a couple of 2600's that I am trying to get MPP working properly. Both routers are identical.

BTW - If I just use straight PPP, everything is beautiful.

Router A can't do TCP to router B, however, Router B can TCP to Router A.

I can ICMP to both of them. Router is driectly connected to the Internet & router B is at a remote location.

Since there has been no response to your post, it appears to be either too complex or too rare an issue for other forum members to assist you. If you don't get a suitable response to your post, you may wish to review our resources at the online Technical Assistance Center (http://www.cisco.com/tac) or speak with a TAC engineer. You can open a TAC case online at http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If anyone else in the forum has some advice, please reply to this thread.

Thank you for posting.

We had the same issues among others with MPP, between two 2600's and 2600 and 6500. It seems that when a multilink is created on a router and then removed or deleted, it is not really gone. If you then recreate it you have problems. Sometimes if you completely remove MPP configs, reboot routers and then recreate MPP all works fine.

I recommend you open a TAC case as we also had some IOS version issues that needed to be corrected before we were able to completely solve this.

I dealt with this exact scenario. Instead I reconfigued the T1 controllers so that dumped all my serial interfaces. Doing that I was unable to add any interfaces to multilink-group 1 until I bounced the router.

It appears that your multilink1 interfaces between the routers are not in the same subnet network. You have 192.168.1.17/28 on router A and 192.168.1.33/28 on router B. These are not within the same subnet. 192.168.1.30/28 is last usable host IP address in the subnet on router A. You are using host IP address .33 on router B. Change the router B multilink IP address to something within router A's subnet and you should be good to go.
