Binding Multiple Carrier Lines To A Ppp Interface - HP 7102dl - ProCurve Secure Router Configuration Manual

Binding Multiple Carrier Lines to a PPP Interface

On the ProCurve Secure Router, links are always defined by the Data Link
Layer (for example, a PPP interface), rather than by the Physical Layer. You
bind a physical interface to a logical interface to grant the Data Link Layer
protocol access to the physical media over which to transmit data. This way
of defining links makes configuring MLPPP easy: you simply bind more than
one carrier line to the same PPP interface.
You can bind as many carrier lines to the PPP interface as are installed on the
router. The ProCurve Secure Router 7102dl provides up to 4 E1- or T1-carrier
lines, and the ProCurve Secure Router 7203dl provides up to 12 E1- or T1-
carrier lines, depending on the modules that you purchase.
You should have already configured the physical interfaces. If you have not,
see the Basic Management and Configuration Guide, Chapter 4: Configur-
ing E1 and T1 Interfaces for instructions. To bind these interfaces to the PPP
interface, you need the following information:
type of carrier line (E1 or T1)
dl module slot for the carrier line's module
port number for the interface to which the line connects
time division multiplexing (TDM) group number
The TDM group number defines the range of channels used by an E1- or T1-
carrier line. The carrier lines that will be aggregated can use the same or a
different TDM group number, but these groups must use the same number of
channels.
You can enter the bind command either from the global or the PPP interface
configuration mode contexts:
Syntax: bind <bind number> [e1 | t1] <slot>/<port> <tdm group number> ppp
<interface number>
Use a different bind number for each carrier line you want to bundle. For
example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config)# bind 1 e1 1/1 1 ppp 1
ProCurve(config)# bind 2 e1 1/2 1 ppp 1
ProCurve(config)# bind 3 e1 2/1 1 ppp 1
