Re: PPP encap with no ip unnumbered

hi Naveen,
Your serial 0/1 does not have any reference to any sub-interface. therefore
serial0/1 won't have a clue of who the hell interface virtual-template1 is.

interface virtual-template1 type serial
 ip address 155.1.45.4 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
!
interface serial0/1
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp

In other lab solution there is a reference "ppp multiplink group1" which
refers serial0/1 linked to "interface multilink1"
if there were 2 serial interface and you had to create 2 links then second
interface on the same router it would be serial0/2 = pppp multilink-group2'
then linked to interface multilink 2

interface serial0/1
 encapsulation ppp
 ppp multilink group 1
