Con®guring MP

 

Dialout MP link net

 

 

The dial circuit con®gured to place the ®rst call for an outbound MP circuit.

 

Max fragment size

 

 

 

Speci®es the largest number of bytes of data a packet can contain before

 

 

 

the packet is fragmented to be sent over MP links.

 

Min fragment size

 

 

 

This is the minimum size of the fragments (in bytes) the software creates

 

 

 

when a packet exceeds Max fragment size.

 

Maximum number of active links

 

 

 

Speci®es the con®gured maximum number of links in the MP virtual link

 

 

 

(also known as bundle).

 

Links associated with this MP bundle

 

 

 

Displays the links dedicated to this MP interface.

 

BAP enabled

 

 

 

Speci®es whether BAP is enabled on this interface.

 

Add bandwidth percentage

 

 

 

The amount of bandwidth utilization at which the software will try to add a

 

 

 

new link if BAP is enabled.

 

Drop bandwidth percentage

 

 

 

The amount of bandwidth utilization at which the software will remove a link

 

 

 

from the MP bundle if BAP is enabled.

 

Bandwidth test interval

 

 

 

The time, in seconds, after which the software will check the bandwidth

 

 

 

utilization to determine whether to add or drop a link from the bundle.

 

Set

 

 

 

Use the set command to con®gure:

 

v The MP interface for inbound or outbound calls

 

v

The idle timeout

 

v

The MP parameters

 

v

The BAP parameters

 

Syntax:

set

bod parameters

 

 

 

calls

 

 

 

idle

 

 

 

mp parameters

bod parameters

 

 

Prompts you to specify the BOD add and drop bandwidth percentages and

 

 

the BOD test interval.

 

 

Example:

 

 

set bod parameters

 

 

Add bandwidth % [90]? 80

 

 

Drop bandwidth % [70]? 50

 

 

Bandwidth test interval (sec) [15]? 25
