Configuring Multilink Backhaul Interface

A multilink interface is a special virtual interface that represents a multilink PPP bundle. The multilink
interface coordinates the configuration of the bundled link, and presents a single object for the aggregate
links. However, the individual PPP links that are aggregated must also be configured. Therefore, to
enable multilink PPP on multiple serial interfaces, you first need to set up the multilink interface, and
then configure each of the serial interfaces and add them to the same multilink interface.

Note

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time,
you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the

Router#

prompt.

The Cisco 3825 router can support up to 16 E1 or T1 interfaces through the multilink interface.

Complete the following configuration tasks for a multilink backhaul interface.

Step 1

Create a multilink bundle and enter the interface configuration mode:

Router(config)# interface multilink

group-number

Where group-number is the number of the multilink bundle.

For example, the following command creates a multilink bundle 5:

Router(config)# interface multilink5

Router(config-if)#
