I’ve got a POP where we have determined that we need to add additional capacity. Currently I’ve got one 3M/512K DSL circuit in place, and I’d like to add another and bond/aggrigate the connections in such a way as to provide a single logical connection to my ROS router.
Currently the network is configured as such:
Internet ← 7206 VXR ← < ATM/DSL > → DSL Modem ← Ethernet → RB133
I have control over the 7206VXR, the PVC configuration, the DSL modem, and the RB113. The only thing I don’t have control over is the actual DSLAM and ATM network. I’m not certain if my 7206VXR supports MLPPP or not, but it doesn’t seem to matter much since Mikrotik doesn’t support MLPPP anyways. I also can’t hook the two DSL modems to seperate ethernet interfaces, because the RB133 only has one ethernet port.
I’m not exactly sure what the best way to connect this is. I could use multiple gateways, but that doesn’t result in true bonding; just round robin packet balancing - not to mention that if one circuit goes down you’re hosed.
So what else are my options? I can configure the PVC’s however I’d like on the Cisco side, and do whatever I’d need to do on the ROS side.
I’d appreciate any ideas as to how to configure this. Thanks!
