Hello,
I am wonder what the difference between the two configurations below are. It seems there are two ways to configure MLPPP. Either using a multilink interface or a virtual template. One uses an unnumbered IP and one uses a /30 for the multilink interface. I see in the QOS config guids that you use option #2 for MLPPP interleave.
Which option is best practice for normal circumstances?
****Configuration #1**** multilink virtual-template 1 ! interface Virtual-Template1 ip unnumbered Loopback0 ppp authentication chap ppp multilink ! interface Serial0/0/0:1 no ip address encapsulation ppp no fair-queue ppp multilink ! interface Serial0/0/1:1 no ip address encapsulation ppp no fair-queue ppp multilink
****Configuration #2**** interface Multilink1 ip address 10.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.xxx.xxx.xxx ppp multilink ppp multilink group 1 ! interface Serial0/0/0 no ip address ppp multilink ppp multilink group 1 encapsulation ppp no fair-queue ! interface Serial0/1/0 no ip address ppp multilink ppp multilink group 1 encapsulation ppp no fair-queue
