This example shows how to configure MLFR FRF.16 for additional bandwidth, load balancing, and redundancy.
Requirements
Before you begin, you should have two MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers configured with at least two serial interfaces that communicate over serial links.
Overview
In this example, you aggregate two T1 interfaces to create an MLFR FRF.16 bundle on two MX Series, R0 and R1. You configure the chassis interface and specify the number of MLFR FRF.16 bundles to be created on the interface. You then specify the channel to be configured as a multilink bundle and create interface lsq-0/0/0:0. You set the multilink bundle as an MLFR FRF.16 bundle by specifying the MLFR UNI NNI encapsulation type.
Then you define R0 as a DCE device and R1 as a DTE device. You configure a logical unit on the multilink bundle lsq-0/0/0:0, and set the family type to inet. You then assign a DLCI of 400 and an IP address of 10.0.0.10/24 to the multilink bundle. You create the T1 interfaces, t1-2/0/0 and t1-2/0/1, that are to be added as constituent links to the multilink bundle and define the Frame Relay encapsulation type. Finally, you set the multilink bundle to lsq-0/0/0:0.
Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For instructions on how to do that, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure an MLFR FRF.16 bundle:
- Configure a chassis interface.[edit]user@host# edit chassis
- Specify the number of MLFR bundles.[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 0 pic 0 mlfr-uni-nni-bundles 1
- Create an interface.[edit]user@host# edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0:0
- Specify the MLFR encapsulation type.[edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0:0]user@host# set encapsulation multilink-frame-relay-uni-nni
- Set the router R0 as a DCE device.[edit]user@host# edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0user@host# set dce
- Specify a logical unit on the multilink bundle and set
the family type.[edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0]user@host# set unit 0 dlci 400 family inet address 10.0.0.10/24
- Create the T1 interfaces and set the Frame Relay encapsulation.[edit interfaces]user@host# set t1-2/0/0 encapsulation multilink-frame-relay-uni-nniuser@host# set t1-2/0/1 encapsulation multilink-frame-relay-uni-nni
- Specify the multilink bundle to which the interface is
to be added as a constituent link on device R0.[edit interfaces t1-2/0/0]user@host# set unit 0 family mlfr-uni-nni bundle lsq-0/0/0:0
- Specify the multilink bundle to which the interface is
to be added as a constituent link on device R1.[edit interfaces t1-2/0/1]user@host# set unit 0 family mlfr-uni-nni bundle lsq-0/0/0:0
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show chassis, show interfaces lsq-0/0/0, show interfaces lsq-0/0/0:0, show interfaces t1-2/0/0, and show interfaces t1-2/0/1 commands for the routers R0 and R1. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the configuration instructions in this example to correct it.
If you are done configuring the device, enter commit from configuration mode.
Verification
Confirm that the configuration is working properly:
Verifying the MLFR FRF.16 Configuration
Purpose
Verify the MLFR FRF.16 configuration.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show interfaces command.
