172 CHAPTER 12: CONFIGURING PPP AND MP
■ Configure MP Protocol Parameters
1 Create Virtual Template
Table 203 Create/Delete virtual template
2 Configure Operating Parameters of Virtual Template
Comparing virtual template interface with general physical interface, users can
find that the link layer protocol supports only PPP and the network protocol
supports IP and IPX. Therefore the following operating parameters can be set:
■ Set operating parameters of PPP
■ Set IP address of virtual interface
■ Set IP address (or IP address pool) allocated to PPP peer
■ Set packet filtering rule on virtual interface
There is no difference in configuring the parameters for virtual template and for
general interface. See specific configuration in related sections such as PPP
configuration of Operation Manual - Link Layer Protocol, IP address configuration
of Operation Manual - Network Protocol and RADIUS configuration of Operation
Manual - Security.
3 Configure the Physical Interface to work in MP Mode
Perform the following configuration in interface view.
Table 204 Configure the physical interface to work in MP mode
By default, interface does not work in MP mode.
4 Bind the Physical Interface to a Virtual Template
The physical interface can be bound to a virtual template in two ways.
■ Bind directly
Perform the following configuration in interface view.
Table 205 Bind the physical Interface to a Virtual Template
After this command is configured, the system will not check the username and
endpoint when performing MP binding, namely, the commands
ppp mp
binding-mode
and ppp mp user will not take effect.
