Bridging over Two serial links

[NickCheung]

Dear,

I want to bridge traffic from a 2501 (one ethernet port) to a riverstone router over 2 T1. Is the command "bridge-group xxx circuit-group xxx" Cisco proprietary?
As I know I can¡¦t config same bridge group for two serial interfaces. This will cause looping. How can I use both T1 to convey the traffic between two different routers?

Many Thanks

Is the 2 circuits a PPP? You can distribute the between both t1 on the router. You can load balance the circuits.
There are several different ways to accomplsh this task. EIGRP, ppp multilink Jeter@LasVegas.com

Thanks Fisher,

2 circuits are using PPP. If I use PPP Multilink, will the loop still there? Could you give me a sample config?

Thanks again

Here is a working config. We tested the the spans by pulling 1 T1 off and all traffic routed down the working pipe. When the T1 was reinstalled then the traffic started again down both pipes ( load Balancing )

Thanks Fisher,

The concern is only one end is Cisco Router. Another end is a Riverstone router. So if this PPP multilink is only applied for Cisco. I am afriad if the config is ok.

Thanks
Nick ::-(
