2 T1's for setup

[12122053]

We are getting 2 new T1's in our office which will be connected to a 2651 router. How do you configure the router to use both T1's for maxium bandwidth? Does anybody know any links? Thank you.

You are asking for equal cost (or unequal cost) load balancing. Look at the static route FAQ here in this forum for details. If you own both ends, consider either OSPF or EIGRP for the routing protocol and you can load balance using that. You do a crude form of load balancing with policy routing by forcing certains parts of the data stream to use one or the other link.


The following link has some nice details

Thanks wybnormal for the response. How do you configure a new T1 line for let's say on serial0, thank you.

You did not specify what type of T1 ( frame, point to point) you hooking up but the following document has details all the commons ways with sample configs to view. It should answer most of your questions. You can also puruse the serial port FAQ here in the Cisco Forum for some other details.
