Creating an MLP Bundle Interface
To create an MLP bundle interface, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# interface multilink
multilink-bundle-number
Creates a multilink bundle. Enters interface configuration
mode to configure the bundle.
multilink-bundle-number is a nonzero number that identifies
the multilink bundle. For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB and
later releases, valid values are:
• MLP over Serial—1 to 9999 (Release 12.2(28)SB and
later) or from 1 to 9999 and 65,536 to 2,147,483,647
(Release 12.2(31)SB2 and later).
• Single-VC MLP over ATM—10,000 and higher.
• Multi-VC MLP over ATM—1 to 9999
(Release 12.2(28)SB and later) or from 1 to 9999 and
65,536 to 2,147,483,647 (Release 12.2(31)SB2 and
later).
Note For releases earlier than Cisco IOS
Release 12.2(28)SB, valid values are from 1 to
2,147,483,647.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# ip address address mask Specifies the IP address and subnet mask assigned to the
interface.
address is the IP address.
mask is the subnet mask for the associated IP address.
Step 3 Router(config-if)# ppp chap hostname hostname (Optional) Identifies the hostname sent in the Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) challenge.
hostname is the name of the bundle group. This name
uniquely identifies the bundle.
Note If you configure this command on the bundle and its
member links, specify the same identifier for both the
bundle and the member links.
Step 4 Router(config-if)# ppp multilink
fragment-delay delay-max
(Optional) Configures the maximum delay allowed for the
transmission of a packet fragment on an MLP bundle.
delay-max specifies the maximum amount of time, in
milliseconds, that is required to transmit a fragment. Valid
values are from 1 to 1000 milliseconds.
Step 5 Router(config-if)# ppp multilink interleave (Optional) Enables interleaving of real-time packets among
the fragments of larger nonreal-time packets on an MLP
bundle.
Step 6 Router(config-if)# ppp multilink fragment
disable
(Optional) Disables packet fragmentation.
