Chapter 19 Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol Connections
Configuring MLP Bundles and Member Links
Note The router automatically adds the ppp multilink and ppp multilink group commands to the
MLP bundle configuration.
Configuration Example for Creating an MLP Bundle Interface
Example 19-1 shows a sample configuration for creating an MLP bundle interface.
Example 19-1 Creating an MLP Bundle Interface
Router(config)# interface multilink 8
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.48.209 255.255.0.0
Router(config-if)# ppp chap hostname cambridge
Enabling MLP on a Virtual Template
The virtual template interface is attached to the member links, not to the MLP bundle. You can apply the
same virtual template to the member links; you are not required to apply a unique virtual template to
each member link.
To enable MLP on a virtual template, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# interface virtual-template
number
Creates or modifies a virtual template interface that can be
configured and applied dynamically to virtual access
interfaces. Enters interface configuration mode.
number is a number that identifies the virtual template
interface. You can configure up to 5061 total virtual template
interfaces (requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB and later
releases).
Step 2 Router(config-if)# ppp max-configure retries Specifies the maximum number of configure requests to
attempt before stopping the requests due to no response.
retries specifies the maximum number of retries. Valid values
are from 1 to 255. The default is 10 retries. We recommend
110 retries.
Step 3 Router(config-if)# ppp max-failure retries Configures the maximum number of consecutive Configure
Negative Acknowledgements (CONFNAKs) to permit before
terminating a negotiation.
retries is the maximum number of retries. Valid values are
from 1 to 255. The default is 5 retries. We recommend 100
retries.
Step 4 Router(config-if)# ppp timeout retry
response-time
Sets the maximum time to wait for Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) negotiation messages.
response-time specifies the maximum time, in seconds, to
wait for a response during PPP negotiation. We recommend
5 seconds.
