Configuring the PortMaster 3 11-15
Using Multichassis PPP
Using Multichassis PPP
Multichassis PPP allows the use of Multilink PPP across multiple PortMasters in a
single telephone hunt group, and on the same Ethernet.
Setting Multichassis PPP
To enable Multichassis PPP, set the endpoint discriminator on all PortMaster products
sharing a hunt group and Ethernet, with the same 12-digit hexadecimal number. For
convenience, you can use the Ethernet MAC address of one PortMaster as the endpoint
discriminator for all the PortMasters on that hunt group, but any 12-digit hexadecimal
number will serve.
To enable Multichassis PPP, use the following commands:
Command> set endpoin t Hex
Command> save all
Command> reboot
Note – You must use the save all and reboot commands after issuing the
set endpoint command for the endpoint discriminator to take effect.
Displaying Multichassis PPP Addresses
To display the addresses of the neighboring PortMasters in the same Multichassis PPP
group, and a list of connections to virtual and physical ports on the PortMaster, use the
following command:
Command> show mcppp
Disconnecting a User from a Virtual Port
To disconnect a user attached to a virtual port, you must reset the port. Because the
virtual port has a corresponding physical port on the slave unit, once the virtual port is
reset on the master, its corresponding physical port is also reset on the slave.
When using Multichassis PPP, use the following command on the master unit to reset a
virtual port:
Command> reset V0
