3 

Configure the general property parameters and click Next. The Configure Bundle Parameters form opens.

Set the Bundle Type parameter to PPP and configure the rest of the required parameters, then click Next. The Configure Bundle Members form opens.

Note: To create an FR group bundle, perform To create an FR group bundle

    Note: If you need to configure the MLPPP group bundle for multiclass service transmission, do not add any bundle members. See To configure an MLPPP bundle for multiclass service transmission for information about how to configure the MLPPP bundle for multiclass service transmission.

  2. To add DS0 channel groups to the bundle:

    1. Click Create. The Add Bundle Member form opens.

    2. Configure the Show Only Compatible Channels parameter, as required.

    3. Click Next. The Select Channels configuration form opens.

    4. Search for channels, and then choose up to 8 compatible channel groups from the list of channels to construct the bundle.

      Note:

      If there are no compatible channels to choose from, edit some of the existing channels that are not compatible to make them compatible:

      • Click Back and disable the Show Only Compatible Channels parameter. Click Next.

      • Choose channels to edit from the list and click Properties.

      The channel group with the lowest Port ID is chosen as the primary member for the bundle. The Encap Type of the primary member is used for all other members. When adding members to a bundle at a later time, choose members with the same Encap Type as the primary member.

    5. Click Finish. The form closes and the Create Multilink Bundle form reappears.
