Channeling: how to and ip addressing

[peter.conings]

Aim: two entities, one router, divide WAN link by two (50-50). Had in mind to subdivide serial link and assign ip address for each entity (subnet) but doesn't seem that simple :-(.

Seems need to do channeling but not familiar with that.

I have a VWIC-1MFT-E1 (controller E1 0/0) and a 31*64kbit/s line (interface G703).

Is following correct?

Channel-group 1 timeslots 1-15

Channel-group 2 timeslots 17-31 (I'm I correct to leave 16 out for D-channel?).

How to assign ip addresses or other solution to decide which traffic goes over with channel?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

no, you can use all the channels!

channel-group 1 timeslots 1-15

channel-group 2 timelsots 16-31

These commands will create to serial interface that you should see in your 'show run' where you can set the IP addresses ('encap ppp' on those serial int. too!)

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks indeed these commands created the serail interfaces.

'encap ppp' is this required or can I also choose eg 'hdlc'. Pros, cons?

Do I also need to set a 'clock rate'? On both rotuers?

I use PPP because it works (which is a good reason in itself!) and I did not bother see what HDLC would bring...

I tried HDLC and it works. Anyway thanks for your help. Line tested and it works. Problem solved
