Multilink PPP Commands
XSR CLI Reference Guide 8-109
XSR(config-if)#multilink-group 2
XSR(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
XSR(config-if)#ppp multilink
XSR(config-if)#no shutdown
multilink max-links
This command sets the maximum number of links allowed in this bundle. If multilink BAP is
configured and the number of active links exceed the maximum number of links, BAP will try to
negotiate the links down.
Syntax
multilink max-links number (1-255)
Default
16
Mode
Dialer Interface configuration: XSR(config-if<xx>)#
Example
This example sets the minimum multilink limit to 6 on Dialer port 4:
XSR(config)#interface dialer 4
XSR(config-)#multilink min-links 6
multilink min-links
This command triggers the dialer to maintain the minimum number of links in a bundled
multilink over a switched line and should be configured on the called side of a connection. It is the
first means by which the XSR effects Bandwidth‐on‐Demand (BoD).
The multilink load-threshold command is the second means by which the XSR controls
traffic via BoD. A third means to effect BoD is by use of the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP)
which is activated by several
ppp bap commands. BAP negotiates with the peer to add or drop a
link, and can request a phone number from a central repository with the ppp bap number
command. If multilink BAP is configured and the number of active links is less than the minimum
number of links, BAP will try to negotiate the links up.
Syntax
multilink min-links number (1-255)
1-255 Maximum number of links allowed in this bundle.
