Brian: Here are some instructions that I received from the list a year ago on setting up MPIP. Hope they help. If this works, you can send Ron and Paul a Christmas card! They're the ones that figured it out. Paul Farber wrote:
How many servers are their? This is where I'm confused. I have ARC-A and ARC-B.
One server. In this example ARC-A will be the server. On ARC-A you would type: set mpip client_state on set mpip server_state on set mpip client (IP of ARC-A) sharedsecret <Secret on ARC-A> set mpip client (IP of ARC-B) sharedsecret <Secret on ARC-B> set mpip server (IP of ARC-A) sharedsecret <Secret for ARC-A> set ntp primary_server <IP of NTP server> enable ntp save all On ARC-B you would type: set mpip client_state on set mpip server (IP of ARC-A) sharedsecret <Secret for ARC-B> set ntp primary_server <IP of NTP server> enable ntp save all
Set ARC-A as mpip client + server, plus set it to an NTP server (know of any good ones?).
I run my own NTP server on a Linux box. Don't have to worry too much about it going down then.
Set ARC-B as mpip client and add ip's of ARC-A's into it (what command?). Set the NTP to same NTP server s ARC-A.
How does ARC-B know of ARC-A's ips? Add them their also?
You don't need to worry about IP addresses of the different ARCs. The ARC will tunnel between each other so it is invisible to the client.
Thanks for your help so far.

How do you set up two chassis to work together in establishing an MPPP connection?
Check out the manuals (pdf's availabe, even without a service contract, at totalservice.3com.com) for info on MPIP. MPIP is the coordination protocol that Arcs use to do multi-chassis multi-link. Be aware that you'll need the time syncronized between the Arcs...but that's easily done since they support NTP. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
