Configuration Example for Enabling MLP on a Virtual Template
Example 19-2 shows a sample configuration for enabling MLP on a virtual template.
Example 19-2 Enabling MLP on a Virtual Template
Router(config)# interface virtual-template1
Router(config-if)# ppp max-configure 110
Router(config-if)# ppp max-failure 100
Router(config-if)# ppp timeout retry 5
Router(config-if)# keepalive 30
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Router(config-if)# ip mroute-cache
Router(config-if)# ppp authentication chap
Router(config-if)# ppp multilink
Router(config-if)# exit
Adding a Serial Member Link to an MLP Bundle
You can configure up to 10 serial member links per MLP bundle. When adding T1 member links, add
only full T1 interfaces. If the interface you add to the MLP bundle contains information such as an IP
address, routing protocol, or access control list, the router ignores that information. If you remove the
interface from the MLP bundle, that information becomes active again.
To add serial member links to an MLP bundle, enter the following commands beginning in global
configuration mode:
Step 5 Router(config-if)# keepalive [period] Enables keepalive packets to be sent at the specified time
interval to keep the interface active.
period specifies a time interval, in seconds. The default is 10
seconds. We recommend 30 seconds.
Step 6 Router(config-if)# no ip address Removes an IP address.
Step 7 Router(config-if)# ppp multilink Enables MLP on the virtual template interface.
