Disable multilink ppp when T1 down

[Anonymous]

How can I disable routing over a multilink ppp interface when one of the t1 links is down?

This would be a simple matter with a track on the route, but "test if interface" does not support t1.

The application is a TA908e with MLPPP over T1 for voice and backup WAN on eth 0/1. I want to avoid using the MLPPP interface when one of the member links is down, since it may not have sufficient bandwidth for the expected number of calls.

Adtran has no configuration for the minimum number of links in an MLPPP bundle. Curiously, you can specify a maximum.

What's on the other end of the multilink PPP? If it's a Cisco, you can specify ppp multilink links minimum <number> on the Cisco side of the multilink interface. If a T-1 fails the line protocol will go down which will cause the TA908e to withdraw the route.

The other end is our provider. I still want the unit to be reachable via the ppp address, but not used as the default route.

Stumped! I don't see a practical way to do this. Bandwidth changes but no way to track it.

Open a feature request to add T1 interfaces to those that can be tracked.

Unfortunately, the TotalAccess 900e series is not one of the products open for submitting feature requests directly, and I don't have direct address to an Adtran sales representative.
