Multilink PPP Commands
XSR CLI Reference Guide 8-113
Example
The following example resets the BAP pending timeout on Dialer port 1:
XSR(config)#interface dialer 1
XSR(config-if
ppp multilink
This command enables Multilink PPP on an XSR interface. Multilink PPP operates over single or
multiple interfaces that are configured to support both Dial‐on‐Demand rotary groups and PPP
encapsulation. It applies to asynchronous serial interfaces, and ISDN leased‐line Basic Rate
Interfaces (BRIs), and ISDN Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs).
This command is associated with the following multilink sub‐commands:
–
endpoint
sets the multilink group Endpoint Descriptor over the multilink bundle. Refer
to
–
fragment-delay
sets the maximum fragment delay interval. Refer to
for
command details.
–
fragment disable
disables fragmentation over a multilink PPP connection. Refer to page
for command details.
–
group
‐ configures a PPP link and assigns it to a specified PPP multilink group. Refer to
for command details.
–
load-threshold
set the value which triggers the dialer to add or delete a link from the
multilink bundle. See
for details.
–
multi-class
sets the Multi‐Class MLPPP option for the MLPPP header format. Refer to
for command details.
Multilink PPP BAP is designed to manage bandwidth of a multilink bundle. BAP works in
conjunction with the
multilink load-threshold
command to enable Bandwidth‐on‐Demand
(BoD) when bandwidth must be added or removed on the XSR.
BAP negotiates with the peer to add or drop a link, and can request a phone number from a
central site repository using the
bap number default
command.
Use the
multilink load-threshold
command to enable a dialer interface (dialer profile) to bring
up additional links and add them to a multilink bundle. If you want a multilink bundle to be
connected indefinitely, you must set a very high idle timer.
Syntax
ppp multilink {bap}
Syntax of the “no” Form
The no form of this command not only removes multilink on the interface but also multilink BAP
if it also was configured:
no ppp multilink {bap}
Note: BAP is employed on Dialer and ISDN lines only.
bap
Enables BAP/BACP to be negotiated over the multilink bundle.
