Configuring MLP Bundles and Member Links
Example 22-1 Creating an MLP Bundle Interface
Router(config)# interface multilink 8
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.48.209 255.255.0.0
Router(config-if)# ppp chap hostname cambridge
Enabling MLP on a Virtual Template
The virtual template interface is attached to the member links, not to the MLP bundle. You can apply the
same virtual template to the member links; you are not required to apply a unique virtual template to
each member link.
To enable MLP on a virtual template, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# interface virtual-template
number
Creates or modifies a virtual template interface that can be
configured and applied dynamically to virtual access
interfaces. Enters interface configuration mode.
number is a number that identifies the virtual template
interface. You can configure up to 5061 total virtual template
interfaces (requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB and later
releases).
Step 2
Router(config-if)# ppp max-configure retries
Specifies the maximum number of configure requests to
attempt before stopping the requests due to no response.
retries specifies the maximum number of retries. Valid values
are from 1 to 255. The default is 10 retries. We recommend
110 retries.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# ppp max-failure retries
Configures the maximum number of consecutive Configure
Negative Acknowledgements (CONFNAKs) to permit before
terminating a negotiation.
retries is the maximum number of retries. Valid values are
from 1 to 255. The default is 5 retries. We recommend 100
retries.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# ppp timeout retry
response-time
Sets the maximum time to wait for Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) negotiation messages.
response-time specifies the maximum time, in seconds, to
wait for a response during PPP negotiation. We recommend
5 seconds.
Step 5
Router(config-if)# keepalive [period]
Enables keepalive packets to be sent at the specified time
interval to keep the interface active.
period specifies a time interval, in seconds. The default is 10
seconds. We recommend 30 seconds.
Step 6
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Removes an IP address.
Step 7
Router(config-if)# ppp multilink
Enables MLP on the virtual template interface.
