The Goal is that create a PPP Multilink
on R1 and R2 so that the link between
them will be double speed with IP
address as follow:
R1:10.10.10.1 /30
R2: 10.10.10.2 /30

Step 1) go to each router and give the PPP encapsulation
R1#show ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
FastEthernet0
/0
unassigned YES Method administratively down down
Serial1/0 unassigned YES manual up up
Serial1/1 unassigned YES Method up up
Serial1/2 unassigned YES Method administratively down down
Loopback1 1.1.1.1 YES manual up up

R1#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#int s1/0
R1(config-if)#encapsulation ?
atm-dxi ATM-DXI encapsulation
bstun Block Serial tunneling (BSTUN)
frame-relay Frame Relay networks
hdlc Serial HDLC synchronous
lapb LAPB (X.25 Level 2)
ppp Point-to-Point protocol
sdlc SDLC
sdlc-primary SDLC (primary)
sdlc-secondary SDLC (secondary)
smds Switched Megabit Data Service (SMDS)
stun Serial tunneling (STUN)
x25 X.25

R1(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
R1(config-if)#
*Sep 13 16:48:25.875: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/0,
changed state to down
R1(config-if)#int s1/1
R1(config-if)#
*Sep 13 16:48:52.335: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1,
changed state to down
R1(config-if)#

As you see as soon as I changed the Encapsulations to PPP, It went down since I need to do
R2 .
R2#config t
R2(config)#int s1/0
R2(config-if)#en
R2(config-if)#
R2(config-if)#

R2(config-if)#
R2(config-if)#
*Sep 13 16:51:07.551: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
Serial1/0, changed state to up
R2(config-if)#
R2(config-if)#
*Sep 13 16:51:14.127: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
Serial1/1, changed state to up
R2(config-if)#

Now If I go to each router I will see up and up
FastEthernet0
/0
unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Serial1/1 unassigned YES NVRAM up up
Serial1/2 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down

Step 2) Now I will go create a Multilink Interface under R1
R1#
int Multilink 100
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
ppp multilink
ppp multilink group 100
R1#config t
R1(config)#int mul
R1(config)#int multilink ?
<1-2147483647> Multilink interface number
R1(config)#int multilink 100
R1(config-if)#ip add
*Sep 13 16:58:20.103: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Multilink100, changed state to down

R1(config-if)#ip add
R1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
R1(config-if)#pppp multi
R1(config-if)#ppp multi
R1(config-if)#ppp multilink
R1(config-if)#ppp mul
R1(config-if)#ppp multilink ?
endpoint Configure the local Endpoint Discriminator
fragment Specify fragmentation parameters
group Put interface in a multilink bundle

idle-link Do not transmit fragments over the lowest speed link
interleave Allow interleaving of small packets with fragments
links Specify the limits on the number of links in a bundle
load-threshold Specify threshold used to add/delete links
mrru Configure multilink MRRU values
multiclass Configure support for Multiclass Multilink
queue Specify link queuing parameters
slippage Set constraints on amount of data the MLP reassembly engine
will buffer per link
<cr>

R1(config-if)#ppp multilink gro
R1(config-if)#ppp multilink group ?
<1-2147483647> Multilink group number
R1(config-if)#ppp multilink group 1
% Cannot add multilink-group interface to a different multilink group
As you see the group number and interface must be same on R1 , but for R2 I can use
different Group number as we will see (I will use group 200 for R2)

Here is show run so far on R1:
R1#show run
interface Multilink100
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
ppp multilink
!

Step 3) Now make sure go under each interface of int s1/0 and s1/1 give these commands and
make sure use same as group 100
int s1/0
encapsultion ppp
ppp multilink
int s1/1
encapsultion ppp
ppp multilink

R1#config t
R1(config)#int s1/0
R1(config-if)#

Now lets look at R1#show ip int brief
FastEthernet0/0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Serial1/1 unassigned YES NVRAM up up
Multilink100 10.10.10.1 YES manual down down
R1#

FastEthernet0
/0
unassigned YES Method administratively down down
Serial1/1 unassigned YES Method up up
As we see I have Multilink 100 is Down Down; since I need to do same concept on other side R2

Step 4) Now I will go create a Multilink Interface under R2
R2#
int Multilink 200
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
ppp multilink
R2#config t
R2(config)#int multilink 200
R2(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
R2(config-if)#ppp mult
R2(config-if)#ppp mul
R2(config-if)#ppp multilink ?

endpoint Configure the local Endpoint Discriminator
fragment Specify fragmentation parameters
group Put interface in a multilink bundle
idle-link Do not transmit fragments over the lowest speed link
interleave Allow interleaving of small packets with fragments
links Specify the limits on the number of links in a bundle
load-threshold Specify threshold used to add/delete links
mrru Configure multilink MRRU values
multiclass Configure support for Multiclass Multilink
queue Specify link queuing parameters
slippage Set constraints on amount of data the MLP reassembly engine
will buffer per link
<cr>
R2(config-if)#ppp multilink gr

Step 5) Now make sure go under each interface of int s1/0 and s1/1 give these commands and
make sure use same as group 200
R2#
int s1/0
encapsultion ppp
ppp multilink
int s1/1
encapsultion ppp
ppp multilink

R2(config)#int s1/0
R2(config-if)#
R2(config-if)#

Here is show run on R2 so far:
!
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
ppp multilink
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
no ip address
shutdown
duplex half
!

interface Serial1/0
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
serial restart-delay 0
ppp multilink
!
interface Serial1/1
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink

Any interface listed with OK? value "NO" does not have a valid configuration
R2#
FastEthernet0/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Serial1/1 unassigned YES unset up up
Serial1/2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Serial1/3 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Virtual-Access1 unassigned NO TFTP down down
Multilink200 10.10.10.2 YES manual up up

R2#ping 10.10.10.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 36/56/68 ms

Here are show good show commands:
R1#show ppp multilink
Multilink100, bundle name is R2
Endpoint discriminator is R2
Bundle up for 00:13:13, total bandwidth 3088, load 1/255
Receive buffer limit 24000 bytes, frag timeout 1000 ms
0/0 fragments/bytes in reassembly list
0 lost fragments, 0 reordered
0/0 discarded fragments/bytes, 0 lost received
0x38 received sequence, 0x38 sent sequence
Member links: 2 active, 0 inactive (max not set, min not set)
Se1/0, since 00:24:14
Se1/1, since 00:12:46
No inactive multilink interfaces

Here is show command on R2#:
0x3C received sequence, 0x3C sent sequence
Se1/0, since 00:15:42
Se1/1, since 00:15:16

Here is show int S1/0 before the Multi-link as we see it will be double in Multilink:
R1#show int s1/0
Serial1/0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is M4T
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation PPP, LCP Open, multilink Open
Link is a member of Multilink bundle Multilink100, crc 16, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
Restart-Delay is 0 secs
Last input 00:00:56, output 00:00:04, output hang never

Now If I Go to R1 and ping R2=10.10.10.2 with continues ping and then go and shut down R2 (S1/0) I will see after a delay it will continue to
ping:
R1#ping 10.10.10.2 repeat 10000000
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 10000000, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

R2#config t
R2(config)#int s1/0
R2(config-if)#shut
R2(config-if)#
*Sep 13 18:07:27.595: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial1/0, changed state to administratively down
R2(config-if)#
*Sep 13 18:07:27.595: %ENTITY_ALARM-6-INFO:ASSERT INFO Se1/0 Physical Port Administrative State
Down
*Sep 13 18:07:28.595: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/0, changed state to down
R2(config-if)#

Now lets look at show command on R2#
0x2DC received sequence, 0x2A2 sent sequence
Se1/1, since 00:24:37
Se1/0 (inactive)

As we see we have one active and one inactive, and BW has been dropped to
1544.
Lets give no shut on R2#
R2#config t
R2(config)#int s1/0
R2(config-if)#no shut

Here is summary on R1 and R2:
R1#show run
