Chapter 19 Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol Connections
Configuring MLP Bundles and Member Links
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# interface serial
slot/module/port.channel:controller-number
Specifies the interface that you want to add to the MLP
bundle. Enters interface configuration mode.
slot/module/port identifies the line card. The slashes are
required.
channel: is the channel group number. The colon is required.
controller-number is the member link controller number.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# hold-queue length {in |
out }
Limits the size of the IP output queue on an interface. We
recommend that you configure this command on all physical
interfaces.
length is a number that specifies the maximum number of
packets in the queue. Valid values are from 0 to 4096. We
recommend 4096 packets for all line cards. By default, the
input queue is 75 packets and the output queue is 40 packets.
in specifies the input queue.
out specifies the output queue.
Step 3 Router(config-if)# ppp max-configure retries Specifies the maximum number of configure requests to
attempt before stopping the requests due to no response.
retries specifies the maximum number of retries. Valid values
are from 1 to 255. The default is 10 retries. We recommend
110 retries.
Step 4 Router(config-if)# ppp max-failure retries Configures the maximum number of consecutive Configure
Negative Acknowledgements (CONFNAKs) to permit before
terminating a negotiation.
retries is the maximum number of retries. Valid values are
from 1 to 255. The default is 5 retries. We recommend 100
retries.
Step 5 Router(config-if)# ppp timeout retry
response-time
Sets the maximum time to wait for Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) negotiation messages.
response-time specifies the maximum time, in seconds, to
wait for a response during PPP negotiation. We recommend
5 seconds.
Step 6 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 7 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.
