Chapter 22 Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol Connections
Configuration Commands for MLP
Usage Guidelines
For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB and later releases, the range of valid values for multilink interfaces
are the following:
•
MLP over Serial—1 to 9999 (Release 12.2(28)SB and later), and 1 to 9999 and 65,536 to
2,147,483,647 (Release 12.2(31)SB2 and later)
•
Single-VC MLP over ATM—10,000 and higher
•
Multi-VC MLP over ATM—1 to 9999 (Release 12.2(28)SB and later), and 1 to 9999 and 65,536 to
2,147,483,647 (Release 12.2(31)SB2 and later)
For releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB,
the
valid multilink interface range is 1 to
2,147,483,647.
ppp multilink Command
To enable MLP on an interface, use the
ppp multilink
command in interface configuration mode. To
disable MLP, use the
no
form of the command.
ppp multilink
no ppp multilink
Command History
Defaults
The command is disabled.
Usage Guidelines
The
ppp multilink
command applies only to interfaces that use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
encapsulation.
When you use the
ppp multilink
command, the first channel negotiates the appropriate Network Control
Protocol (NCP) layers (such as the IP Control Protocol and IPX Control Protocol), but subsequent links
negotiate only the Link Control Protocol (LCP) and MLP.
ppp multilink fragment-delay Command
To specify a maximum size in units of time for packet fragments on a MLP bundle, use the
ppp multilink
fragment-delay
command in interface configuration mode. To reset the maximum delay to the default
value, use the
no
form of the command.
ppp multilink fragment-delay
delay-max
no
ppp multilink fragment-delay
delay-max
