Starting remote management sessions
Multilink Protocol Plus (MP+) uses Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulation with
Lucent-specific extensions, as described in RFC 1934, to extend the capabilities of Multilink
Protocol (MP). MP+ supports session and bandwidth management, enabling the MAX unit to
connect to another unit by means of multiple channels. After an MP+ connection has been
established with a remote station (for example, by using the DO Dial command), start a remote
management session with that station by entering the Remote command in the following
format:
remote
station
For example:
ascend% remote lab17gw
During the remote management session, the user interface of the remote device replaces your
local user interface, as if you had opened a Telnet connection to the device. Enter Ctrl-\ at any
time to terminate the remote session. Either end of an MP+ link can terminate the session by
hanging up all channels of the connection.
