MULTIPOINT LINK AGGREGATION

12 (MPLA)

MultiPoint Link Aggregation (MPLA) increases the capacity and availability of campus LAN cores without using complex, meshed router networks. Functioning at Layer 2, MPLA provides both dual-homed link resiliency and automatic load sharing over point-to-multipoint backbone connections. MPLA increases network availability using scalable Gigabit Ethernet connections among multiple campus 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 and other hardware options that are configured for your system. The following 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.
