Increasing Bandwidth
Link-aggregation protocols allow a router to bundle multiple carrier-lines into
a single logical connection to a peer. Link-aggregation allows you to increase
the bandwidth on your router without purchasing an expensive T3 or E3 line.
The ProCurve Secure Router supports:
Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP)
Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR)

Configuring MLPPP

1. In the left navigation bar, select Physical Interfaces.
2. Choose the interface for the first physical carrier-line.
3. The Configuration window for the physical interface will display. If you
have not already done so, configure the interface as described in "Config-
uring E1 and T1 Interfaces" on page 14-39 of the Basic Management and
Configuration Guide.
4. If you have not already done so, click the Encapsulation circle and
select PPP.
5. Check the Multilink box.
6. A PPP Multilink Interface section will display:
a. If you have already configured the PPP interface for the connection,
chose Select. Choose the PPP interface from the pull-down menu.
b. If you have not configured the PPP interface for the connection, chose
New.
7. Click Apply.
8. The Configuration window for the PPP interface will open. If you have
not already done so, configure the interface as described in "Configure
PPP as the Data Link Layer Protocol" on page 14-47 of the Basic Manage-
ment and Configuration Guide.
