Help needed in configuring T1 lines

[arabindas]

Hello Experts,

Recently we subscribed for 6mbps line from a ISP and they have provided 4 T1 lines. The hardware we are using is a Cisco 2811 router with 2nos VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 - 2-Port RJ-48 Multiflex Trunk - T1/E1. I terminated the lines from ISP and also configured but the serial line itself does not comes up. I am pasting the configuration, please let me know if the configuration is okay or I need to add some more. Do help me with some troubelshooting tips as well if the configuration looks okay.

Start checking "show controller T1", if down, complain to telco.

Also, ISP must provide you with configuration for the serial interface, if it is MLPPP or not, etc.

If these T1s are to produce a 6 Mbps link they obviously are to be configured as multilink. To support multilink the serial interfaces need to be configured with encapsulation ppp and configured in a multilink group, and the multilink interface needs to be configured.

The lack of encapsulation ppp would prevent the line protocol from coming up. But the lack of encapsulation would not explain the line state as being down. I would agree that show controller T1 is a good place to start troubleshooting.

Receiver has loss of signal.

Check cabling and tell telco circuits are down.
