Configuring an MLPPP Bundle

In this example, you create an MLPPP bundle (ls-0/0/0.0) at the logical unit level of the link services interface (ls-0/0/0) on routers R0 and R1. Then you add the two serial interfaces se-1/0/0 and se-1/0/1 as constituent links to the multilink bundle. Adding multiple links does not require you to configure and manage more addresses.

To configure an MLPPP bundle on a Services Router:

  1. Navigate to the top of the interfaces configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 92 on Router R0 and Router R1.
  3. Go on to Enabling Link Fragmentation and Interleaving.

Table 92: Configuring an MLPPP Bundle

Task

J-Web Configuration Editor

CLI Configuration Editor

Navigate to the Interfaces level in the configuration hierarchy. Specify the link services interface to be configured.

  1. In the J-Web interface, select Configuration>View and Edit>Edit Configuration.
  2. Next to Interfaces, click Configure or Edit.
  3. Next to Interface, click Add new entry.
  4. In the Interface name box, type ls-0/0/0.
  5. Click OK.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

edit interfaces ls-0/0/0

Configure a logical unit on the ls-0/0/0 interface and define the family type—for example, Inet.

Configure an IP address for the multilink bundle at the unit level of the link services interface.

  1. Next to ls-0/0/0, click Edit.
  2. Next to Unit, click Add new entry.
  3. In the Interface unit number box, type 0.
  4. Under Family, select Inet and click Configure.
  5. Next to Address, click Add new entry.
  6. In the Source box, type the appropriate source address:
    • On R0—10.0.0.10/24
    • On R1—10.0.0.9/24
  7. Click OK until you return to the Interfaces page.

Set the appropriate source address for the interface:

  • On R0, enter

    set unit 0 family inet address 10.0.0.10/24

  • On R1, enter

    set unit 0 family inet address 10.0.0.9/24

From the Interfaces level in the configuration hierarchy, specify the names of the constituent links to be added to the multilink bundle—for example, se-1/0/0 and se-1/0/1.

  1. On the Interfaces page, Next to Interface, click Add new entry.
  2. In the Interface name box, type the name of the interface to be added to the multilink bundle—for example se-1/0/0 or se-1/0/1.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Click Edit next to the appropriate interface name—for example, se-1/0/0 or se-1/0/1.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, add the constituent links to the multilink bundle.

  • To add se-1/0/0 to the multilink bundle, enter

    edit interfaces se-1/0/0

  • To add se-1/0/1 to the multilink bundle, enter

    edit interfaces se-1/0/1

Create the multilink bundle by specifying a logical unit on each constituent link and defining it as an MLPPP bundle—for example, ls-0/0/0.0.

  1. Next to Unit, click Add new entry.
  2. In the Interface unit number box, type 0.
  3. Under Family, select Mlppp and click Configure.
  4. In the Bundle box, type ls-0/0/0.0.
  5. Click OK until you return to the Interfaces page.

Enter

set unit 0 family mlppp bundle ls-0/0/0.0

Set the serial options to the same values for both interfaces on R0—se-1/0/0 and se-1/0/1.

For more information about serial options, see Configuring Serial Interfaces with Quick Configuration.

Note: In this example, R0 is set as a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) device. The serial options are not set for interfaces on R1. You can set the serial options according to your network setup.

  1. On the Interfaces page, click Edit.
  2. Next to the interface that you want to configure (se-1/0/0 or se-1/0/1), click Edit.
  3. Next to Serial options, click Configure.
  4. From the Clocking mode list, select dce.
  5. From the Clock rate list, select 2.0mhz.
  6. Click OK twice.
  1. On R0, from the [edit] hierarchy level, set serial options for the interface.
    • To set options on se-1/0/0, enter

      edit interfaces se-1/0/0

    • To set options on se-1/0/1, enter

      edit interfaces se-1/0/1

  2. Enter

    set serial-options clocking-mode dce clock-rate 2.0mhz
