Bonding Group Definition
Abondinggroupisdefinedas“agroupofswitchinterfacesassignedtoasingularbridgeunit
andnetworkinterface.”
TheEFMbondinggroupbundlesmultipleSHDSLlinestogethertoprovidebandwidthequal
tothesumoftheSHDSLsbonded.Thisprocessprovidesthenecessarybandwidthforservice.
Forexample,eight
SHDSLsbondedtogetherprovideeighttimesthespeedof1SHDSL(8x
5.696=45.568Mbpsofbandwidth)totransportethernettraf fic.
Provisioning Steps
ThisprocedurecreatesanEFMbondinggroupattheGigESMthatbondsthephysicallayer
ports(SHDSL)oftheaccessmodule(s)together.
Tocreateanewbondinggroup,completethefollowingprocedure:
1. FromtheEnableprompt,type
