PPP multilink problem

Nov 18, 2007 1 Replies

Hi Guys, i got a situation here and hope someone will be able to help me out. Recently i configured a PPP multilink and am facing some issues after that.



Issue 1: There seems to be lot of input error on multilink interface (150 errors in 40 mins)



Issue 2: when any of the multilink member interface goes down (all other links are active), am getting packrt drops and request timed out when i ping my other end multi link interface atleast for some 30 sec , after which my response is ok.



About my network I have connectivity between site A and Site B which consists of five



64 kbps Leased lines bundled together with Multilink PPP

My configuration is shown below



End A


interface multilink 1 ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x ppp multilink fragment-delay 20 ppp multilink interleave ppp multilink multilink-group 1



int Ser 2/0 bandwidth 64 no ip address no ip redirects no ip proxy-arp encapsulation ppp no ip route-cache no ip mroute-cache no fair-queue ppp multilink multilink-group 1


int Ser 2/1 bandwidth 64 no ip address no ip redirects no ip proxy-arp encapsulation ppp no ip route-cache no ip mroute-cache no fair-queue ppp multilink multilink-group 1

Perhaps posting the output of show version from both routers and show interface for the multilink interface along with a show interface for a good physical link and a troubled link would be useful.
