WAN Configuration Monitoring PPP WAN Ports
The following table describes the commands for configuring MLP:
Compression on MLP Bundles or Links
Compression can be applied on either a bundle or link basis if MLP is enabled on PPP links. If compression is enabled
on a bundle, the packets will be compressed before processing by MLP. If compression is enabled on a link, the packets
will be compressed after the MLP processing.
In general, choose bundle compression over link compression whenever possible. Compressing packets before they
are “split” by MLP is much more efficient for both the compression algorithm and the WAN card. Link compression
is supported to provide the widest range of compatibility with other vendors’ equipment.
30.9 MONITORING PPP WAN PORTS
Once you have configured your PPP WAN interface(s), you can use the CLI to monitor status and statistics for your
WAN ports. The following table describes the monitoring commands for WAN interfaces, designed to be used in the
Enable mode:
Add PPP port(s) to an MLP bundle.
ppp add-to-mlp
<mlp>
port
<port list>
Create MLP bundle(s).
ppp create-mlp
<mlp list>
slot
<number>
Set MLP encapsulation format.
ppp set mlp-encaps-format ports
<port
list>
[format short-format]
Set the size of frames that fragmented for
transmission on an MLP bundle.
ppp set mlp-frag-size ports
<port list>
size
<size>
Set the depth of the queue used to hold MLP
packets for preserving the packet order.
ppp set mlp-orderq-depth ports
<port list>
qdepth

Set the depth of the queue used to hold packet
fragments for reassembly.
ppp set mlp-fragq-depth ports
<port list>
qdepth
