Example: Configuring an MLPPP Bundle on ACX Series on page 525
ACX Series routers support MLPPP encapsulations. MLPPP enables you to bundle multiple
PPP links into a single multilink bundle. Multilink bundles provide additional bandwidth,
load balancing, and redundancy by aggregating low-speed links, such as T1 and E1 links.
You configure multilink bundles as logical units or channels on the link services interface.
With MLPPP, multilink bundles are configured as logical units on the link service
interface—for example,
lsq-0/0/0.0
ACX2000, ACX2100 routers, and with Channelized OC3/STM1 (Multi-Rate) MICs with
SFP and 16-port Channelized E1/T1 Circuit Emulation MIC on ACX4000 routers.
After creating multilink bundles, you add constituent links to the bundle. The constituent
links are the low-speed physical links that are to be aggregated. The following table
shows the maximum number of multilink bundles you can create on ACX Series routers:
