• Links of differing bandwidths are supported in the same bundle.
• PPP encapsulation must be enabled before configuring multilink-related commands.
Creating a Multilink Bundle
To create a multilink bundle, use the following commands:
Assigning an Interface to a Multilink Bundle
To assign an interface to a multilink bundle, use the following commands:
