Using MP

 

 

 

Multi-Chassis MP

 

 

 

 

An MP bundle with a Layer 2 Tunnel that contains a phone hunt group that spans

multiple physical Network Access Servers is known as a multi-chassis MP.

Multi-chassis MP uses rhelm or user-based tunneling (see ªUsing Local or Remote

Authenticationº in Using and Con®guring Features) to establish the MP endpoint

destination. See ªUsing Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)º inUsing and

Con®guring Featuresfor more information about L2TP.

 

 

 

 

Con®guring a Multilink PPP Interface

Con®guring an MP interface depends on the type of interface used in the MP

bundle. The following sections contain examples of the various con®gurations.

After con®guring the MP interface, you may con®gure bandwidth-on-demand (BOD).

The following example con®gures BOD on existing MP interface 17:

Config> net 17

MP config:

17> enable bod

Enable BAP? [N]

MP config:

17> set bandwidth-on-demand parameters

Add bandwidth % [90]:

Drop bandwidth % [70]:

Bandwidth test interval (sec) [15]

MP config:

17>

 

 

 

Con®guring MP on PPP Dial Circuits

 

This section shows how to con®gure a Multilink PPP interface by using an example

 

that con®gures Multilink PPP with two ISDN dial circuits.

 

1. Add the two dial circuits and the multilink PPP interface.

*t 6

 

 

 

 

 

Config>add dev dial-circuit

Adding device as interface 7

Defaulting Data-link protocol to PPP

Use "net 7" command to configure circuit parameters

Config>add dev dial-circuit

Adding device as interface 8

Defaulting Data-link protocol to PPP

Use "net 8" command to configure circuit parameters

Config>add dev multilink-ppp

Enter the number of multilink PPP interfaces [1]?

Adding device as interface 9

Defaulting Data-link protocol to PPP

Use "net intf" command to configure circuit parameters

Config>

 

 

2.Con®gure each PPP dial circuit. (See ªChapter 47. Con®guring and Monitoring Dial Circuitsº on page 643.) In this example, the destination, call direction, and LIDs are set for one of the dial circuits.

Config>net 7

Circuit configuration

Circuit config:

7>set dest out

Circuit config:

7>set calls outbound

Circuit config:

7>set net 6

Circuit config:

7>

3. Enable MP on each dial circuit to be used for MP as follows:

Circuit config: 7>encapsulator

Point-to-Point user configuration

PPP 7 Config>enable mp
