don't really know if this fits the forum (by objectives for the CCNP tests) but assume it should... however, should it not, i'd make another assumption that i should be able to find a quick answer here from you fine fellow geeks.

1750 with 2 WICs connects to 3640 with 2 WICs. 2 PPP T1s. i want to enable multilink PPP for these two links. i've done some reading but i seem to have a couple questions related to what i am finding.

do i use IP unnumbered on these serial interfaces to an ether?
do i have to create bundles?
do i have to create virtual templates?
do i NEED an authentication method? can't i have no auth?

currently the interfaces are as follows:
1750: s0 192.168.40.5/30
1750: s1 192.168.40.8/30

3640: s3/0 192.168.40.6/30
3640: s3/1 192.168.40.8/30

can it be done as easily as enabling ppp multilink on each serial int?

please and thanks for your thoughts.

I can't answer all your questions but I can assure you ppp multilink could care less if you use ip unnumbered, ip negotiated or a static address. My only real experience with the command is for ISDN back up and I don't use a virtual-template. It creates the bundle based on my threshold command (1 means I always want the bundle regardless of traffic volume). I always use CHAP authentication but doubt you need it for what ya want. Think you probably are missing the threshold command, but won't swear to it.

Understand that multilink is load balencing and not bundling.

Ok I have consulted the COMS Bible aka Cisco's website and I have managed to find these links for you:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/131/mppp-ddr.html

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/79...ter2router.html

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/13...undle_name.html

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td...ial_c/dcppp.htm

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/79...pmultilink.html

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/47..._multilink.html

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td...rprt2/drppp.htm

Ok now I'm really really bored with copy paste... there are about 250 links on the cisco website all realating to multilink ppp just type in "multilink PPP" and make sure you have a large vat of coffee at hand.

Sorry my eyes are hurting now so you will have to read them all yourself

A) Procedure for PPP MULTILINK over
T1
==============================
==============

1) create a Virtual interface called
MULTILINK 1 on both routers.
2) Assign ip addresses for those
interfaces.
3) create a group called Multilink-group 1

4) include PPP MULTILINK in the interface
config(both sides)
5) You need to put IPX information, if you
are using IPX, in this config.

configuring the serial interfaces
==============================
=====.

1) Use " No ip address " in the serial
interface config.
2) include PPP MULTILINK
3) inculde encapsulation ppp
4) include Muttilink-group 1
5) use the Bandwidth command.

Here is the example:----
==============================
==============
A)
interface Multilink1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no cdp enable
ppp multilink
multilink-group 1

B)interface Serial0/0
description
bandwidth 1536
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
multilink-group 1


C) interface Serial0/1
description
bandwidth 1536
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
multilink-group 1
==============================
=============

Let me know this helps........
