Bonded T1 - 2xT1 - Upload Help

Hello Everyone,

I just finished configuring a Cisco 2811 router to use a bonded 2xT1.

I did some speed tests and it appears I'm only getting the combined bandwidth on the download.

The download speed is 3MB but the upload is only 1.5MB. Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this?

Thanks in advance, John

How have you configured your side?

The usual way to do this would be to use Multilink ppp. Both sides though need to cooperate. Maybe MLPPP is not configured/operating on your end and the provider is finding some other way to send you the traffic.

You could post a sanitised version of yor config.

John,

How are they "bounded"? Do you use a Multilink protocol (Multilink PPP or Multilink Frame Relay). or you have two independent T1s, terminated in the same router? In case of Multilink, your interface should appear as one "instance", and your default routing should point to that "multilink" interface, not to physical interface. If you have two independent T1s, then you should have (1) equal cost routes to both interfaces, and (2) CEF enabled on the router.

Do "show ip route" and check, if you have two lines under "default route" (route to 0.0.0.0). If not, you should either add it manually, or coordinate it with your ISP. To enable CEF, just do "ip cef" in Router Configuration mode.

Good luck,

There are three circuits total. 2 circuits for the bonded 2xT1 for 3MB.

1 circuit for a standalone PPTT1 for 1.5MB.

One ethernet port will be used for the 2xT1 and the other will be used for the PPT1.

Here is my sanitized config. Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I think I know what the problem is but this is still just a guess. It appears I have conflicting static routes?

How do I make sure the 2xT1 goes out on it's own route and the PPT1 goes out on it's own?

I'm open to any advice.

Thanks, John
