Overview
Bundle objects
Bundle objects can be configured as multilink PPP, IMA group, or FR group bundles. Multilink PPP, IMA group, and FR group bundles appear as Bundle objects under the daughter card object if the daughter card has been configured as a channelized MDA.
APS Bundle objects appear in the navigation tree as children of the shelf object. APS Bundle objects are configured to protect multilink PPP and IMA bundles on channelized ASAP MDAs. See Chapter 38, APS for more information on APS and APS bundles.
Multilink PPP bundles
You can create MLPPP bundles to:
The following general rules apply to multilink bundles.
-
Table 15-2, Multilink bundle configuration maximum lists the maximum number of multilink bundles that can be created on each MDA.
-
If a channel is being used as a SAP, it cannot be added to a bundle.
Table 15-2: Multilink bundle configuration maximum
MDA |
Bundle maximum |
---|---|
4 x Channelized OC3/OC12 ASAP SFP MDA |
32 |
All MDAs other than Channelized ASAP MDAs |
56 |

4 x Channelized DS3/E3 ASAP MDA |

IMA group bundles
IMA group bundles combine ATM-encapsulated DS0 channel groups into a single ATM interface. The following general rules apply to IMA group bundles.
-
IMA group bundles can only be created on:
-
The encapsulation type of the DS0 group channel must be ATM.
-
The Clock Source parameter of the DS1 channel must be set to Node-Timed.
-
Table 15-3, IMA group bundle configuration maximums lists the maximum number of IMA group bundles that can be created on each MDA.

See To create an IMA group bundle to create an IMA group bundle.
FR group bundles
FR group bundles are used to fragment lower priority DLCI frames to minimize jitter and delay on higher priority DLCI frames. The following general rules apply to FR group bundles.
-
FR group bundles can only be created on channelized ASAP MDAs.
-
FRF12 cannot be enabled on a SAP that is using an FR group bundle.
-
DS0 channel groups must have all their timeslots selected and have their encapsulation type set to FR to be configured as bundle members.
Note: You can configure a maximum of 128 FR group bundles on an MDA.
