You cannot assign interfaces configured with the following features to an HDLC link
bundle: IPv4 addresses, IP unnumbered, IPv6 addresses, URPF, NetStream, and IPv6
NetStream. After an interface is assigned to an HDLC link bundle, you cannot
configure any of these features on the interface either.
An interface can belong to only one HDLC link bundle at any point in time. To assign an
HDLC link bundle member interface to another HDLC link bundle, remove the interface
from the current HDLC link bundle first.
The link layer protocol of an interface to be assigned to an HDLC link bundle must be
HDLC. After the interface is assigned to the HDLC link bundle, you are not allowed to
change its link layer protocol.
You can assign interfaces to a nonexistent HDLC link bundle as members.
You can assign interfaces on different cards to the same HDLC link bundle.
If you change the bundling priority of a member interface after the HDLC link bundle
configuration is finished, the router will determine the state of each member interface
in the HDLC link bundle again.
The peer interface directly connected to an HDLC link bundle member interface must
also join the HDLC link bundle.
The bundle member-priority command and the bundle max-active links command
usually need to be used in conjunction, so that interconnected interfaces on two
different routers can be both selected at the same time and thus exchange traffic
successfully.

HDLC Link Bundling Configuration Example
Network requirements
To increase bandwidth and enhance connection reliability between Router A and Router B,
create an HDLC link bundle between Router A and Router B, as shown in
Use the command...
display bundle member
hdlc-bundle [ bundle-id ] [ slot
slot-number ]
display interface hdlc-bundle
[ bundle-id ]
reset counters interface
