To configure static MLPPP:
Create the member links to be aggregated into a multilink bundle.
1.
a. From Global Configuration mode, specify the individual interface on which you
want to configure MLPPP.
host1(config)#interface serial 2/0:1/1
b. Specify MLPPP as the encapsulation method on the interface.
host1(config-if)#encapsulation mlppp
c. (Optional) Specify the keepalive timeout value for the member link interface.
host1(config-if)#ppp keepalive 50
d. (Optional) Specify the authentication method for the member link interface.
host1(config-if)#ppp authentication pap chap
e. (Optional) Enable hash-based link selection instead of the default round-robin
link selection for the member link interface.
host1(config-if)#ppp hash-link-selection
Add member links to a multilink bundle.
2.
a. Define the MLPPP bundle.
host1(config)#interface mlppp group1
b. Add each member link.
host1(config-if)#member-interface serial 2/0:1/1
c. Assign an IP address to the MLPPP bundle.
host1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.100.1 255.255.255.0
d. (Optional) Specify the keepalive timeout value for the MLPPP network interface
(the entire MLPPP bundle).
host1(config-if)#ppp keepalive 50
e. (Optional) Specify the authentication method for the MLPPP network interface
(the entire MLPPP bundle).
host1(config-if)#ppp authentication pap chap
f. (Optional) Enable hash-based link selection instead of the default round-robin
link selection for the MLPPP network interface (the entire MLPPP bundle).
host1(config-if)#ppp hash-link-selection
The following commands configure three T1 lines and aggregate them into a multilink
bundle named group1.
host1(config)#interface serial 2/0:1/1
