HDLC link bundle interface

An HDLC link bundle interface is a logical interface comprising a bundle of HDLC links.

HDLC link bundle

An HDLC link bundle is a group of HDLC interfaces. When you create an HDLC link bundle interface, an HDLC link bundle numbered the same as the HDLC link bundle interface is automatically generated.

Member interface

An interface assigned to an HDLC link bundle is called an HDLC link bundle member interface. Only POS interface and serial interfaces with HDLC encapsulation enabled can be assigned to an HDLC link bundle.

Member interfaces in an HDLC link bundle use the configuration on the HDLC link bundle interface to process Layer 3 services. All layer 3 service settings on the member interfaces, including the IP address, are void when the interfaces are assigned to the HDLC link bundle.
