You have to specify the server on each arc. Here's a brief description on how I setup mpip. MPIP setup is only necessary for a site that has more than 1 Hiper Arc and has PRI's. It is not necessary for those POP's that don't support ISDN. When setting up MPIP on the Hiper Arcs you will have to designate one of the Harcs as the server for the group. It will keep track of where all the channels are and who they belong to. The rest of the Harcs, including the one designated as the server will be setup as clients. (It's a client too.) You should use as0.clli.mi. as the server for consistency. add mpip server <ip_address of server> sharedsecret mpip priority 1 Remember to do this on all the Harcs. mpip is the sharedsecret in this case. On the Harc that is going to be the server, as0, make sure the server state is on set mpip server_state on Now, on each Hiper Arc, including the server you need to add the ip address of all the Hiper Arc's in the group. add mpip client <ip_address> sharedsecret mpip type hiper By default all Hiper Arc's are set to default server_state=off and client_state=on Only the Harc acting as the server will have both server and client state on, else it should be off, on. Verify Setup show mpip settings list mpip servers list mpip clients Hope this helps, Todd -----Original Message----- From: usr-tc-admin@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:usr-tc-admin@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Wayne Barber Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 9:09 AM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Multilink PPP (MPIP) Hi, I've had two chassis for quite a while, but we've recently decided to try to support multilink PPP. I followed some instructions I found in an old message and was able to get connected, but the throughput was terrible. If I dropped the second connection, the speed jumped back to what I would expect for a single 56k connection. My two hiperarcs are at v5.2.102. I set the first to be both server and client and the second to just client. Then I set the shared secrets and enabled MPIP. Is there anything else that needs to be done?
