Multilink Operation

Multilink operation defines the use of more than one link to connect between two PPP

routers. When a multilink connection is required, simply enable the

Multilink Operation

option of the remote site profile for that connection.

When a multilink connection is established, the multilink (MP) options within the PPP set-

up and Advanced PPP set-up menus will determine the operation of the multilink

connection.
