Interface Configuration

Maximizing Bandwidth Use

Once ports are preprovisioned, Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), multilink-bundles (IMA), or
Bundle Protection Groups (for example IMA BPGrps), can be configured to increase the
bandwidth available between two nodes. Up to eight (16 per LAG) links can be grouped. All
physical links or channels in a given LAG/bundle combine to form one logical connection. A
LAG/bundle also provides redundancy in case one or more links that participate in the LAG/
bundle fail. For command syntax, see Configuring Multilink PPP Bundles on page 206. To
configure channelized port for TDM, refer to section Configuring Channelized Ports on page 167.
To configure channelized port for Sonet/SDH high speed channels (ASAP MDAs only), refer to
Configuring SONET/SDH Port Parameters on page 164.
