Enabling Mlp On A Virtual Template - Cisco 10000-2P2-2DC Software Configuration Manual

Configuring MLP Bundles and Member Links
Example 22-1 Creating an MLP Bundle Interface
Router(config)# interface multilink 8
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.48.209 255.255.0.0
Router(config-if)# ppp chap hostname cambridge

Enabling MLP on a Virtual Template

The virtual template interface is attached to the member links, not to the MLP bundle. You can apply the
same virtual template to the member links; you are not required to apply a unique virtual template to
each member link.
To enable MLP on a virtual template, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# interface virtual-template
number
Step 2
Router(config-if)# ppp max-configure retries
Step 3
Router(config-if)# ppp max-failure retries
Step 4
Router(config-if)# ppp timeout retry
response-time
Step 5
Router(config-if)# keepalive [period]
Step 6
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Step 7
Router(config-if)# ppp multilink

Chapter 22 Configuring Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol Connections
Purpose
Creates or modifies a virtual template interface that can be
configured and applied dynamically to virtual access
interfaces. Enters interface configuration mode.
number is a number that identifies the virtual template
interface. You can configure up to 5061 total virtual template
interfaces (requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB and later
releases).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Removes an IP address.
Enables MLP on the virtual template interface.
