RE: PPP multilink - not getting the second BRI [IE lab 7]

Actually... For the National ISDN specification, SPIDs are indeed required.
And they are required for each particular TEI to be assigned.

As for 5ESS or DMS100 switch types, your premise would be correct there
about the actual configuration.

" For National ISDN-2 (NI-2) and beyond, a SPID is a free-formatted numeric
string between 3 to 20 characters in length. The SPID is assigned by the
Local Exchange Carrier or LEC (ISDN service provider) when the customer
places a service order for a BRI. Currently, the customer MUST enter the
SPID into the terminal before the terminal can initialize at layer 3.

The Service Profile IDentifier (SPID) is a number assigned to a fully
initializing ISDN terminal that enables the Stored Program Control Switching
System (SPCS) to uniquely identify the ISDN terminal at layer 3 of the
D-channel signaling protocol.

Each fully initializing terminal needs to be uniquely identified at layer 3
in order for the SPCS to provide terminal-dependent features. When the
terminal sends its SPID during layer 3 initialization, the SPCS uses the
SPID to associate the terminal with a specific set of terminal services
(that have been previously provisioned in the SPCS for that terminal). The
directory number of the terminal is not sufficient for this purpose because
directory numbers may not uniquely identify a terminal on an interface; that
is, a directory number can appear on multiple terminals on a single BRI."

        This is not necessarily true. While it is typically common that NI
switches have two SPIDs, it's completely determined by how the ISDN network
is configured. NI switches can have setups of 2 SPIDs, 1 SPID, or no SPIDs.
