Multilink PPP - bouncing interface
I have two E1 connections between two routers. Unfortunately, the bundle is always going up and down. If I configure an ip subnet on each link, the connections are stable. Hence it does not look like a line problem. Or could it be that the bundle has problems with channelised E1?
Has anybody some experience with this kind of problems? Thanks for advice.

Yes Im also curious as to why the Mulitlink continues to bounce as the Carrier states they see no issues on there end..?

Hello,
please Urgent Help
I have ASR 1000 with asr1000rp2-adventerprisek Version, when I give PPP Multilink to the dialer interface it show following error :
FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: F0: fman_fp_image:
MLP bundle , link download to CPP failed
please urgent helpthis error comes with the command PPP multilink, it is a lot of letters and numbers and then this last line comes this message
FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: F0: fman_fp_image:
MLP bundle 181, link 178 download to CPP failed
the configuration still not installed but I configured just the following lines
interface Virtual-Template
ip unnumbered Loopback2
ip mtu 1440
ip load-sharing per-packet
ip tcp adjust-mss 1400
no logging event link-status
peer default ip address pool
ipv6 unnumbered Loopback2
ipv6 enable
no ipv6 nd suppress-ra
ppp authentication pap chap callin
ppp multilink
ppp multilink fragment delay 100
ppp multilink mrru local 1546
that were the lines used to configure this Dialer, the image must be asr1000rp2-adventerprisek and not Ipbase but I dont tried to use IPbase.
what do think ? -
Hi Guys,
i got a situation here and hope someone will be able to help me out. Recently i configured a PPP multilink and am facing some issues after that.
Issue 1:
There seems to be lot of input error on multilink interface (150 errors in 40 mins)
Issue 2:
when any of the multilink member interface goes down (all other links are active), am getting packrt drops and request timed out when i ping my other end multi link interface atleast for some 30 sec , after which my response is ok.

Is there a large increase in Processor Load when using MultiLink PPP to bond T1s together while running MPLS? We have been requested to bond circuits for customers, but are reluctant because of the danger of over utilizing the processor on our 7206s which are mostly NPE-400s and some NPE-G1s. Is there a reference somewhere to the increase in Processor Load caused by MPPP?
Hi,
Cisco does not publish quantitative details on the impact of MLPPP on CPU utilisation. So the best option for you is to do some baselining within the lab: start with an unloaded box with two separate T1s, pass traffic over them so that they are both fully utilised and then note CPU utilisation. Then, enable MPPP over these, pass traffic over the multilink interface so that it's fully utilised and then note CPU utilisation. That should give you some idea of the incremental impact of such interfaces. You can always do things such as disable fragmentation when using MLPPP which does reduce CPU utilisation.
Having said that, the NPE-400/NPE-g1s are pretty grunty and should be able to handle a few multilink interfaces. It comes down to how many of these interfaces you are expecting to use...
Hope that helps - pls do rate the post if it does.

Transparent bridging & Multilink PPP
Is it possible to run Multilink PPP on 2 T1s while also doing transparent bridging?
If so, Do I need to put bridge-group 1 on my multilink interface?
thxIt is not clear what the original problem was or what was the solution. And I am not clear what problem you are trying to solve that leads to the question of bridging over the multi link.
If we knew more about your situation we might be able to give better advice. But I would suggest that the answer will turn out to be something close to this:
- if you want to route IP over the multilink and to bridge some other traffic that might be possible.
- if you want to bridge IP over the multilink then you can not have an IP address configured on the multilink. To bridge IP over the multilink you might need to do something like configure Integrated Routing and Bridging. In IRB you configure a virtual interface BVI and put the IP address on the BVI. then you put a bridge group on the multilink which points to the BVI. It is ugly and I would not recommend it, but I think that it might work.

Two T1 lines and multilink PPP question
We are getting an additional full T1 line from our ISP for failover and increased bandwith. Each T1 line will go to different NOCs. We decided on multilink ppp (MLPPP). Our ISP told us that traffic will be transmitted on both T1 lines. Packets from one NOC will go to the other NOC, reassembled and send to WAN. In the event one NOC fails, all traffic will go through the other one.
I understand two MLPPP lines must terminate on a single router at a single location. Is what I mentioned above possible?
I also have a 2651XM router with 256MB of memory. I need two seperate WIC CSU/DSU integrated T1 modules. Can someone recommend a model?
ThanksThe most common implementation is indeed MLPPP which terminates multiple PPP links on the same end devices. There is also an implementation of multi-chassis multilink which can terminate ppp links on separate chassis. I guess that is is possible that the chassis could be in separate NOCs. I have no experience with this implementation where the participating routers are in different NOCs, but I assume that it could work.

I need to establish RAS access to my network via an ISDN PRI line. Most users will be single POTS line users but I'll also need to allow bundled POTS line users via Microsoft multilink PPP. I'm planning to order a Cisco 2811 to handle this using a NM-1CE1T1-PRI module for the PRI and a PVDM2-24DM for the calls. Will this setup handle my requirments?
I have 20 leased line with 256 kpbs sharing on 2 E1 links on the module NM-1CE1T1-PRI (1-Port Channelized E1/T1/ISDN-PRI Network Module).
Now we are migrating those 20 line to 2 mbps leased line, i wanted to know that using PVDM can i used the existing 20 lines as backup isdn line ?
We use RAS for dialup and want to remove RAS device so my question is can i use the cards mentioned above so that 20 locations can dial in with on the present E1 card without using patton RAS? -
Has anyone attempted to achieve something like this:
On the remote site, a Cisco RV320 Router, connecting to two DrayTek Vigor120 xDSL modems through the two Gigabit WAN ports, which connect to two xDSL links.
Ignoring the Core end of the xDSL (which I can make support Multilink PPP), has anyone ever imagined/tried/succeeded to run multilink PPP originating in the RV320 router or similar ( the LAC), transiting the two xDSL links and terminating on the LNS at the Core end of the xDSL link?
Sorry its a bit off the wall, I think I may be asking a lot to make this work, but you have to try!
Thanks,
JimBump!...anyone out there with ideas?

Hi,
i want to make my Archlinux work as Multilink-PPP server.
i played with MPD http://mpd.sourceforge.net/, a FreeBSD Multilink-PPP daemon, and it was easy to let it bundle to L2TP-Connections to a single link.
But doing the same with Linux seems to be quite harder, can you help me?
The-Masterthe only way that i know to set up a multilink ppp in linux is to use pppd and set the mp option in the peer file, you can probably find a lot more about it by checking the pppd man pages and you will also need to find a l2tp module for the kernel. search google for it.

my company has 3 major sites, we wish to configure channelised E3 along with multilink so that we have 3 different links to 3 different remote sites so that there traffic travels across seperatly. the 1st will have 8 E1s bundled together for one site the 2nd will have 4 E1s bundled for the 2nd destination, 2 E1s will be bundled for the last destination and the remaining 2 E1s will be used fpr back up .
Is this possible ? How? is it also version dependent i m workin on 12.2 IOS on cisco 7206 VXR. Please help urgently.
Thanks.hi,
here you can creat three different MLPPP interface and you can add the E1 link as per your requirement to the appropriate group... so here in first MLPPP you will add 8E1
in second MLPPP you will add 4E1 and in
third you will add 2E1... and now you want to configure other two E1 for back up off all this three then you can go for Distributed MLPPP as given in the privious post...
"The Distributed Multilink Point to Point Protocol (dMLP) feature allows you to combine full or fractional T1/E1 lines in a line card (VIP, FlexWAN) on a Cisco 7500 or 7600 series router into a bundle that has the combined bandwidth of multiple links. You use a distributed MLP Bundle to do this. A user can choose the number of bundles in a router and the number of links per bundle. This allows the user to increase the bandwidth of network links beyond that of a single T1/E1 line without the need to purchase a T3 line. In non-dMLP, all of the packets are switched by the Route Processor (RP); therefore, this implementation impacts performance of the RP, with high CPU utilization for only a few T1/E1 lines running MLP. With dMLP, the total number of bundles that can be handled on the router is increased, as the data path is handled and limited by line card CPU and memory. dMLP allows you to bundle fractional T1/E1, starting from DS0 (64 Kbps) onwards."
Hope this will help you

Multilink PPP bundles - "name routerX doesn't match"
Hi folks,
I'm using various 2600's with ISDN BRI's (basic-ni) dialing into a common NAS with 2 T1's (primary-dms100).
When I activate a single 2600, it will connect successfully and create an MLP bundle on the NAS using the 2600 hostname as an identifier. The problem arises when another 2600 attempts to establish a connection while an MLP bundle exists. I'm seeing the following error:
=========================================
Oct 22 12:39:30 EDT: %DIALER-6-BIND: Interface Se2/1/0:15 bound to profile Di1
Oct 22 12:39:30 EDT: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial2/1/0:15, changed state to up

Oct 22 12:39:31 EDT: %DIALER-6-UNBIND: Interface Se2/1/0:15 unbound from profile Di1
=========================================
I am unsure why routerY is attempting to join routerX's bundle. It seems to me routerY should try to establish a bundle of it's own using "routerY" as an identifier.
Attached are my interface configs. If anyone can point me in the right direction here it will be appreciated. Thanks.Hello,
my first thought would be that the Dialer 1 on your NAS does not have the 'dialer remote-name' configured and hence does not know who is connecting. Also, on your 2600, you have the 'class dialer' configured on your 2600, is that configured for callback ? Can you post that part, or better yet, the full configuration of both the NAS and the 2600 ?

What are the best solution to achieve a load-balancing? I see only CEF load-balancing as solution...
Any other idea?

Monitoring Multilink PPP with Analyzer
I am trying to monitor MPPP link with fragmentation and interleaving
using Agilent WAN Advisor(latest v.15.0), but it seems this box can not decode fragmented PPP, so I have no visibility and right statistics of the link
and layers 3&4. Does anybody has any idea how to get this working, Agilent
Support has been not too much helpful till now.
Alternatively, does anybody knows any WAN Analyzer able to do this.
It would be also great if it would be able to decode cRTP.I believe that sniffervoice will do this:
