Configuring MLPPP Backhaul

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

 

 

Enter your password if prompted.

 

Example:

 

 

Router> enable

 

Step 2

 

 

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Router# configure terminal

 

Step 3

 

 

Router(config-if)# interface serial

Identifies and accesses the serial interface on the specified slot and port.

 

slot/port:channel-group-number

channel-group-number—ID number to identify the channel group.

 

 

 

Example:

The valid range is from 0–30 for E1 controllers and 0–23 for T1

 

controllers.

 

Router(config-if)# interface serial

 

 

0/5:5

 

Step 4

 

 

Router(config-if)# encapsulation

Enables PPP encapsulation on the serial interface.

 

ppp

 

 

Example:

 

 

Router(config-if)# encapsulation

 

 

ppp

 

Step 5

 

 

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink

Enables multilink PPP on the serial interface.

 

Example:

 

 

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink

 

Step 6

 

 

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink

Configures the serial interface as a member link to the multilink interface

 

group group-number

identified by the group-number.

 

Example:

group-number—Multilink group number.

 

The example identifies the multilink interface to which the serial interface

 

Router(config-if)# ppp multilink

 

should be bound to as a member-link.

 

group 5

Step 7

 

 

Router(config-if)# exit

Exits configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Router(config)# exit

 

 

 

 

MLPPP Offload

By default, the Cisco ASR 901 router offloads processing for distributed MLPPP (dMLPPP) to the network processor for improved performance. However, the Cisco ASR 901 does not support some dMLPPP settings on offloaded bundles. The Cisco ASR 901 does not support the following options on offloaded dMLPPP bundles:

ppp multilink idle-link

ppp multilink queue depth
