SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide Frame Relay Interface Config Command Set

frame-relay multilink [ack <seconds> bandwidth-class <class> <threshold> hello <seconds> retry <number>]

Use the frame-relay multilink command to enable the Frame Relay multilink interface. When the no form of this command is issued, all configuration options associated with this command and cross-connects made to this interface are removed.

Syntax Description

ack <seconds>	Optional. Specifies a wait for acknowledgement time (in seconds) for every
	bundle link in the bundle. Range: 1 to 180 seconds.
bandwidth-class	Optional. Specifies the class of operation, placing a minimum limit on the
	acceptable amount of bandwidth required for a bundle to up.
<class>	Optional. Specifies the class of operation. Range: a to c:
	Class A	A single active link is sufficient for the bundle to be up.
	Class B	All defined bundle links must be active for the bundle to be up.
	Class C	A minimum threshold of links must be active for the bundle to be up.
<threshold>	Optional. Specifies the minimum number of active bundle links required for a class
	C bundle to be in the up state. This option will not be available unless Class C is
	specified. Range: 1 to 65535 links.
hello <seconds>	Optional. Specifies the time (in seconds) between hello messages for every
	bundle link in the bundle. Range: 1 to 180 seconds.
retry <number>	Optional. Specifies the number of times a bundle link will retransmit a message
	while waiting for acknowledgement. Range: 1 to 5 times.

Default Values

The default ack value is 4 seconds. The default hello value is 10 seconds. The default <class> value is a. The default retry value is 2.

Command Modes

(config-fr 1)# Virtual Frame Relay Interface Configuration Mode required

Functional Note

This command is different from ppp multilink. In ppp multilink, if multiple cross-connects are configured for the PPP interface without multilink PPP being enabled, the first link to bring up LCP will be the only link actually cross-connected. In Frame Relay multilink, since there is no protocol corresponding to LCP, all cross-connects will be removed and the user will be free to re-issue any cross-connect.
