Create an EFM Bonding Group

This section details the following information:
• Definition of an EFM bonding group
• Steps for configuring the EFM bonding management
• Steps for modifying an existing bridge
• Auto‐Provision the DS3 pairs using EZ‐EFM
• EFM bonding overhead description

Bonding Group Definition

A bonding (bridge) group is defined as "Virtual LAN terminology for a group of switch inter‐
faces assigned to a singular bridge unit and network interface."
The EFM bonding (bridge) group bundles multiple DS3 lines together to provide bandwidth
equal to the sum of the DS3s bonded. This process provides the necessary bandwidth for
service. For example, three DS3s bonded together provide three times the speed of 1 DS3
(3 x 44.736 = 134.208 Mbps of bandwidth) to transport ethernet traffic.

Provisioning Steps

This procedure creates an EFM bonding group at the GigE SM that bonds the physical layer
ports (DS3) of the access module(s) together.
To create a new bonding group, complete the following:
1. From the Enable prompt, type application , and press E
2. From the Application Configuration prompt, type ez-efm <shelf> , and press E
3. From the EFM Configuration prompt, type one of the following commands to create an
6-6
Configuraton prompt.
start the EZ Ethernet application.
EFM Bonding Group:
• To provision the DS3 EFM 4‐Port, type create WORD <EFM links> <slot/port>
upstream <0-250000> downstream <0-250000> active-links-minimum
, and press E
<1-n>
• To provision the DS3 EFM 3‐Port, type create WORD <EFM links> <slot/
port:channel> upstream <0-250000> downstream <0-250000> active-
links-minimum <1-n>
