Link-Multiplexing
NR304G-4W that has more than one WAN port offer the functionality of Link-Multiplexing so it
enables to increase the bandwidth.
MXL(Multiplexed Link) interface
Before using link-multiplexing feature, you should create a MXL(Multiplexed Link) interface.
NR304G-4W can have upto 1 MXL interfaces and this name is "mx0"(fixed and can not be
changed by user). You can think them as logical interfaces which have the same features with any
other separated interfaces. If any separated interface joins a MXL interface, it can not work as it
was(e.g. "s0" can not work as "s0" if it joins mx0, instead, it works as a member of mx0). Only
Link-Multiplexing capable CPEs can be placed in an MXL interface.
Note:
Performance issue
A MXL interface containing 2 SHDSL ports set at 2320kbps each will be a theoretical throughput
of 4640kbps. The best performance can be obtained by making all the links in the MXL interface
to have the same link rate. If any link in the MXL interface has the different link rate with others,
you may have performance degradation.
Configuring a MXL interface
The procedure for setting up an MXL interface and configuration it is generally the
same as setting up an individual port and configuring it.
STEP1>
Using the “device” command, set a date rates at which you want each of the
ports in the MXL interface to operate.
Note:
NexComm suggests using the Fixed Rate Mode. Review the Performance issue.
Usage Examples :
(conf)# device s0 gshdsl co 2320
(conf)# device s1 gshdsl co 2320
STEP2>
Using the following command, bond ports into a MXL interface. This
command can bond one port into a MXL interface. You can set two MXL interfaces as
