Chapter 22 Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol Connections
Configuring MLP Bundles and Member Links
Adding an ATM Member Link to an MLP Bundle
You can configure up to 10 member links per MLP bundle for Multi-VC MLP over ATM. However, you
can configure only one member link per MLP bundle for Single-VC MLP over ATM.
To add ATM member links to an MLP bundle, enter the following commands beginning in global
configuration mode:
Step 4
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 5
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 6
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 7
Router(config-if)# ppp chap hostname hostname
(Optional) Identifies the hostname sent in the Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) challenge.
hostname is the name of the bundle group. This name
uniquely identifies the bundle.
Note If you configure this command on the bundle and its
member links, specify the same identifier for both the
bundle and the member links.
Step 8
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Specifies Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulation for the
interface.
Step 9
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Removes any existing IP address from the main interface.
Step 10
Router(config-if)# ppp multilink
Enables MLP on the interface.
Step 11
Router(config-if)# ppp multilink group
group-number
Associates the interface with an MLP bundle.
group-number is a nonzero number that identifies the
multilink group. Valid values are from 1 to 9999.
The group-number must be identical to the specified
multilink-bundle-number of the MLP bundle to which you
want to add this link.
