To create a bond group select a bond group type and enter the bond group ID, then click the Apply button to create the bond group.
EFM SHDSL cards on the MXK support up to 24 bond groups. Each bond group can have a maximum of eight members. The number of bond groups on a SHDSL card depend on the number of ports that exist on the CPE devices connected to the EFM SHDSL card. For example, a EFM SHDSL card connected to six four-port CPE devices would have six bond groups.
Creating a bond group across cards requires that you first create the bond group, then add one or more bond group members from two cards. EFM cross-card bonding on the MXK has the following conditions and limitations:
Cross-card bonding is not supported in N2N mode.
Bond groups span a maximum of two cards.
The primary card can handle a maximum of 48 ports.
Bond groups can be created from both older and newer line cards.
Bond Group Type |
The selected method of bonding. N2N - Net to Net bonding. EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) extends Ethernet signaling between the MXK and CPEs. EFM - EFM interfaces provide high speed, symmetrical Ethernet services over SHDSL links between the ZHone device and network extender EFM modems and Ethernet access devices like Zhone’s EtherXtend and N2N CPE devices. |
Bond Group ID |
Identification for the bond group. |
Bond Group Name |
The bond group name is used to describe a group of ports. The naming convention differs depending on the card. ADSL, LinkAgg, VDSL cards The name must be in the form 1-Slot-BondGroupID-n, where n cannot exceed the maximum number of ports on the card. GSHDSL cards The name can be in the form 1-Slot-BondGroupID-n, or a descriptive name, such as CoffeeShop. |
