• Channelized
→ Channelized ports can only be configured on the T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card.
→ Configure an access port for customer-facing traffic on which services are
configured.
→ Configure a network port for uplink traffic.
An encapsulation type must be specified in order to distinguish services on the
access port or channel. For network mode, the encapsulation type is set to
ppp-auto and cannot be changed.
Maximizing Bandwidth Use
For T1/E1 ASAP Adapter cards, once ports are preprovisioned, multilink bundles (MLPPP)
or IMA groups can be configured to increase the bandwidth available between two nodes.
Up to eight links can be bundled in an IMA group or MLPPP bundle. All physical links or
channels in a given bundle or group combine to form one logical connection. A bundle or
group also provides redundancy in case one or more links that participate in the bundle fail.
For command syntax, see Configuring Multilink PPP Bundles on page 61. To configure
channelized ports for TDM, see Configuring Channelized Ports on page 56.
