Multilink Autofailover

Dear Experts,

i have one problem with Multilink.

i have two E1's of 2Mbps from my switch to Our Core Router. i had created a multilink between it. to improive connectivity speed to end users so i had created but. it was quite working fine for few days. suddenly one day one of the my E1 got down. so my totally multilink got down. and ping response was breaking so i had to remove multilink configs from it. and now its running with old configs.

please guide me how i can multilink this two link and create a bundle with autoswapping if one E1 get down then traffic should bot get affected it should go over antohter E1 and if that E1 came up then loadbalancing should happen.

awating your replies.

Hi Vivek,

It doesnt seems to be an expected behaviour. When you have multilnk PPP with 2 serail interface bundled, multilink should not be down if any one interface is down. Can you post the config?

Nagendra
