Monitoring and Maintaining Multilink Frame
Relay
This document describes how to monitor and maintain the Multilink Frame Relay feature for the Cisco
ASR 1000 Series Routers. It includes the following sections:
•
Feature Overview, page 12-1

Feature Overview
The Multilink Frame Relay feature is based on the Frame Relay Forum’s Multilink Frame Relay UNI
Implementation Agreement (FRF.16). This feature provides a cost-effective way to increase bandwidth
for certain applications by enabling multiple serial links to be aggregated into a single bundle of
bandwidth. Multilink Frame Relay is supported on User-to-Network Interface (UNI) networks.
Configuring Multilink Frame Relay
The mulitlink frame relay configuration processes are described in the
Frame Relay - Multilink
(MLFR-FRF.16)
feature guide. For more information, see the Frame Relay - Multilink (MLFR-FRF.16)
feature guide at:

Monitoring and Maintaining Frame Relay and Multilink Frame
Relay
You can use different
show
and
debug
commands to monitor and maintain frame relay and multilink
frame relay configurations.
You can use the following
show
commands to display the multilink frame relay configurations:
•
show platform software frame-relay
—Displays the statistics about frame relay permanent virtual
circuits (PVCs).
•
show platform software mfr
—Displays statistics about multilink frame relay information.
