Description: imux is used to combine multiple WAN channels into
logical inverse multiplexing (IMUX)groups. Once the
IMUX is configured, data will be evenly distributed over
all of the logical channels configured.
- A unique value identifying an element in a
sequence of Inverse Multiplexer Applications which
belong to an IP host.
- A unique value identifying an element in
a sequence of groups which belong to a WAN Inverse
Multiplexer Application.
- The MIB II ifIndex value used to
represent a WAN channel that has an appropriate datalink
protocol associated with it.
NOTE
Cabletron Systems products that support Inverse Multiplexing
(IMUX), such as the HSIM-W87, HSIM-W6, CSX400, and
HSIM-W84, must exist on both ends of the WAN link for the
IMUX function to work. All bridging and switching functions,
such as 802.1D, SecureFast VLAN, and 802.1Q are able to run
as normal on the host platform when using the IMUX function
on the HSIM-W87.
