Configuring PPP Interfaces WAN Configuration
Note The RS comes with a set of default values for PPP interface configuration settings,
which means that setting up a PPP service profile is not absolutely necessary to
begin sending and receiving PPP traffic on your RS.
After you configure one or more service profiles for your PPP interface(s), you can then apply a service profile to active
PPP WAN ports, specifying their behavior when handling PPP traffic. The following command line displays all of the
possible attributes used to define a PPP service profile:
Note If it is necessary to specify a value for bridging, IP, and/or IPX, you must specify
all three of these values at the same time. You cannot specify just one or two of
them in the command line without the other(s).
30.8.3 Applying a Service Profile to an Active PPP Port
Once you have created one or more PPP service profiles, you can specify their use on one or more active PPP ports on
the RS. The following command line displays a simplified example of this process:
30.8.4 Configuring Multilink PPP Bundles
The Multilink PPP (MLP) standard defines a method for grouping multiple physical PPP links into a logical pipe,
called an “MLP bundle.” PPP ports are bundled together on a single WAN module. Large packets are fragmented and
transmitted over each physical link in an MLP bundle. At the destination, MLP reassembles the packets and places
them in their correct sequence.
Note If you have a four-port Channelized T3 card, this is regarded as two separate WAN
modules. Ports 1 and 2 are on one WAN module, and ports 3 and 4 are on the other
WAN module. Therefore, you cannot add all four ports to a single MLP bundle.
