172 CHAPTER 12: CONFIGURING PPP AND MP
■Configure MP Protocol Parameters
1Create Virtual Template
Tabl e 203 Create/Delete virtual template
2Configure 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.
3Configure the Physical Interface to work in MP Mode
Perform the following configuration in interface view.
Tabl e 204 Configure the physical interface to work in MP mode
By default, interface does not work in MP mode.
4Bind 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.
Tabl e 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.
Operation Command
Create and enter MP virtual template
interface interface virtual-template
number
Delete the specified MP virtual template
interface undo interface virtual-template
number
Operation Command
Configure the link layer protocol of the interface to PPP link-protocol ppp
Configure the interface to work in MP mode ppp mp
Configure the interface to work in common mode undo ppp mp
Operation Command
Bind the physical Interface to a Virtual
Template ppp mp interface
virtual-template
interface-number
Remove the physical interface’s binding to a
virtual template interface undo ppp mp interface
