Cisco 1700 Series router Bonding T1's (using 2 WICs)

[ktcisg]

Hey guys,

My corporate network is separated into two subnets by two 1600 Series routers and a point to point T1. My users in the remote location are outgrowing the bandwidth of the T1. I need to increase the bandwidth. What would be the best way to do this? I have two 1700 series routers with two modular slots each with 2 CSU/DSU WICs. Is it possible to bond the T1's together running CEF on the routers to get them a 3Mbit pipe back to corporate? I dont have any fiber available at the location.

Thanks all.

Thanks. I have configured NxT1s before. I just didnt know if these routers could handle it.

i have done this a few times with 2 T1s on a 1700 series with no issues.

Would you happen to have a sample config? If not I will figure it out.
