Applicable environment
After configuring MP binding, you can configure MP limiting parameters to optimize the link
channels.
The limiting parameters include:
• MTU
• Upper threshold of the number of the bound links
• Lower threshold of the number of the bound links
• Damping function
Preconfiguration tasks
Before configuring MP limiting parameters, complete the following tasks:
• Configuring physical attributes of the router interface.
• Configuring the link layer protocol of the interface as PPP.
• Configuring MP binding.
Data preparation
To configure MP limiting parameters, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 MTU of MP-Group
2 Maximum number of the MP bundled links
3 Minimum number of the MP bundled links
4 Damping detection time, the maximum times of the flapping, and the time limit of
disabling the damping
Configuration procedures
No. Procedure
1 Configuring the MTU of the MP group
2 Configuring the maximum number of MP bundled links
3 Configuring the minimum number of MP bundled links
4 Configuring the damping of the MP bundled links
5 Checking the configuration
