Your best bet is to do FastEtherChannel if you have a L2 device connected to
the 7200 that supports it.

Bridging is much slower then FEChannel, so you chew up more CPU and thus
have less performance.

Vinod:

My apologies for leading you down the wrong path.
It was late, and I somehow missed the
ETHERNET you so clearly specified in your subject.

Brian kindly notified of my error off-list.

For clarification:

PPP, HDLC are WAN encaps
Ethernet is LAN encap

AFAIK: You can't put PPP encap on an Ethernet.

I think that bridging might be the way to go.

Hi,

I am little confused, Do you mean running PPP over the dual FE ports to
build redundancy, could you pls clarify. Could you pls give me a small
configuration example pls.

With warm regards,
Vinod.
