12 MULTIPOINT LINK AGGREGATION

(MPLA)

MultiPoint Link Aggregation (MPLA) increases the capacity and availability

of campus LAN cores without using complex, m eshed router networks.

Functioning at Layer 2, MPLA provides bot h dual-homed link resiliency

and automatic load sharing over point-to-multipoi nt backbone

connections. MPLA increases network availability using scalable Gigabit

Ethernet connections among multiple ca mpus switches.

For more information about MPLA and trunking, see the

CoreBuilder 9400 Implementation Guide.

Menu Structure The commands that you can use depend on the system that you have,

your level of access, and the types of modules an d other hardware

options that are configured for your system. The followin g diagram

shows the complete list of commands for all systems. See the checklist at

the beginning of each command description in this chapter for whether

your system supports the command.
