Configuring Multilink Frame Relay

The topics below discuss the overview and configuration details of Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR) FRF.15 and FRF.16 for security devices.

Understanding Multilink Frame Relay FRF.15

The link services intelligent queuing interface lsq-0/0/0 supports Multilink Frame Relay end-to-end (MLFR FRF.15).

With MLFR FRF.15, multilink bundles are configured as logical units on the link services intelligent queuing interface, such as lsq-0/0/0.0. MLFR FRF.15 bundles combine multiple permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) into one aggregated virtual circuit (AVC). This process provides fragmentation over multiple PVCs on one end and reassembly of the AVC on the other end. You can configure LFI and CoS with MLFR in the same way that you configure them with MLPPP.

Example: Configuring Multilink Frame Relay FRF.15

This example shows how to configure MLFR FRF.15 for additional bandwidth, load balancing, and redundancy by aggregating low-speed links such as T1, E1, and serial links.

Requirements
Overview
Configuration
Verification

Requirements

Before you begin, you should have two Juniper Networks devices configured with at least two serial interfaces that communicate over serial links.

Overview

In this example, you aggregate two T1 links to create the MLFR FRF.15 bundle on two Juniper Networks devices, R0 and R1, and set the interface to lsq-0/0/0. You configure a logical unit on the lsq-0/0/0 interface and set the family type to inet with address 10.0.0.4/24. Then you configure an IP address for the multilink bundle on the unit level of the interface.

You define the multilink bundle as an MLFR FRF.15 bundle by specifying the MLFR end-to-end encapsulation type. Specify the names of the constituent links to be added to the multilink bundle as t1-2/0/0 and t1-2/0/1. You can then set the encapsulation type to frame relay. You then define R0 as a DCE device and R1 as a DTE device. You set the DLCI value to 100.The DLCI value range is 16 through 1022. Finally, you set the multilink bundle to lsq-0/0/0:0.

Configuration

CLI Quick Configuration

To quickly configure this example, copy the following command, paste it into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, copy and paste the command into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level, and then enter commit from configuration mode.

set interfaces t1-2/0/0 encapsulation frame-relay 
set interfaces t1-2/0/1 encapsulation frame-relay 
set interfaces lsq-0/0/0 unit 0 dlci 100 family mlfr-end-to-end bundle lsq-0/0/0.0 

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.

To configure the MLFR FRF.15 bundle:

Create an interface on both devices.
```
[edit]
user@host# edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0 unit 0
```

Set a logical unit on the interface and define the family type for devices R0 and R1.

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0 unit 0]
user@host# set family inet address 10.0.0.4/24
user@host# set family inet address 10.0.0.5/24

Define the multilink bundle as an MLFR FRF.15 bundle.

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0 unit 0]
user@host# set encapsulation multilink-frame-relay-end-to-end

Specify the names of the constituent links to be added to the multilink bundle.

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit interfaces]
user@host# set t1-2/0/0 encapsulation frame-relay
user@host# set t1-2/0/1 encapsulation frame-relay

Define device R0 as a DCE device.

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit interfaces]
user@host# edit lsq-0/0/0
user@host# set dce

Specify the DLCI as well as the multilink bundle to which the interface is to be added.
```
[edit interfaces lsq-0/0/0]
user@host# set unit 0 dlci 100 family mlfr-end-to-end bundle lsq-0/0/0.0
```

Results

From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show interfaces lsq-0/0/0, show interfaces t1-2/0/0, and show interfaces t1-2/0/1 commands for R0 and R1. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the configuration instructions in this example to correct it.

Understanding Multilink Frame Relay FRF.16

The link services intelligent queuing interface lsq-0/0/0 supports the Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR) user-to-network interface (UNI) and network-to-network interface (NNI) (MLFR FRF.16).

MLFR FRF.16 configures multilink bundles as channels on the link services intelligent queuing interface, such as lsq-0/0/0:0. A multilink bundle carries Frame Relay permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), identified by their data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs). Each DLCI is configured at the logical unit level of the link services intelligent queuing interface and is also referred as a logical interface. Packet fragmentation and reassembly occur on each virtual circuit. You can configure LFI and CoS with MLFR in the same way that you configure them with MLPPP.

Example: Configuring Multilink Frame Relay FRF.16

This example shows how to configure MLFR FRF.16 for additional bandwidth, load balancing, and redundancy.

Requirements

Before you begin, you should have two Juniper Networks devices 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 Juniper Networks devices, 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.
