PPP Multilink using VWIC-2MFT-G703 and E1/PRI Card

Hi,

I'm using an AS5300 with an E1/PRI Card with Serial Interfaces (Figure 2-4 : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/univgate/ps501/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a008007de67.html#8697) and a Cisco 1721 with a VWIC-2MFT-G703 (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/788/products/vwicmf_e1.html). I tried to set a multilink connexion between them.

The Problem is that When they are on HDLC encapsulation, both Serial on the AS5300 and the Cisco 1721 are up, but when I set PPP encapsulation on both ends in order to set the multilink, the serial went down.

Following my actual config:

AS 5300:

controller E1 2

framing NO-CRC4

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

!

controller E1 3

framing NO-CRC4

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

interface Multilink1

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252

no cdp enable

ppp multilink

ppp multilink group 1

!

interface Serial2:0

description LS-1 with Cisco 1721

bandwidth 1984

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

ppp multilink

ppp multilink group 1

!

interface Serial3:0

description LS-2 with Cisco 1721

bandwidth 1984

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

ppp multilink

ppp multilink group 1

I tried to reconfigure them on my test Lab with PPP Encapsulation and I always got protocol down, but when using HDLC they goes UP. I also took 2 Cisco 1721 and both of them have VWIC-2MFT-G703, I configure them with PPP Encapsulation and here both ends

goes UP without any problem.

Maybe I misconfigured the AS5300, so if you have an idea about the correct configuration on Cisco 1721 and the AS5300, ie., What should be

done on (Controller and Serial interface) to set PPP multilink?

Hi,

What I understand is that when use ppp on 2 interfaces each sides the line protocol goes down. If so..

plz try the followings..

global config..

aaa authentication ppp NO-AUTHENTICATION none

aaa authorization network NO-AUTHENTICATION none

interface command ( all interfaces)

int serial 0 / multilink 0

ppp authorization NO-AUTHENTICATION

PLz let me know..if it works..

Thx,

G

I had the same issue. And it turned out,

that it was a software bug. I had to upgrade

the IOS on the AS5300.

Hi,

Thanks gaurav I'll try your configuration and will keep you updated.

Regarding horvaia, could you please tell me which IOS version are you using and solved the problem? which upgrade you did to solve it.

Actually I'm using the C5300-IS-M, Version 12.2(2)XA : c5300-is-mz.122-2.XA.bin
