Creating MLPPP Bundles

To create an MLPPP bundle, you must associate at least one DS1 with the bundle. After you create an MLPPP bundle, you can create an IP interface on the bundle.

NOTE: You can create as many MLPPP bundles on a module or line interface as you have DS1s on that node. For example, on a CT3 module, you can create a maximum of 28 MLPPP bundles on each line interface (port). In this case, each bundle consists of one DS1. When you have assigned all the available DS1s to MLPPP bundles, you can create no additional bundles on that node.You can create a maximum of 4,000 MLPPP bundles per E-series device.

To create an MLPPP bundle:

1. In the Instance Explorer, expand the node on which you want to create an MLPPP bundle:

• DS3 for a CT3
• DS1 for a CT1
• DS1 for a CE1

2. Select the module or line interface, right-click, select Create, and click MLPPP Bundle.

The Create MLPPP Bundle dialog box appears.

3. Set the MLPPP bundle parameters (Table 75).
   

   NOTE: The parameters in the Default PPP Settings group box apply to the PPP interface on a DS0 bundle.

   
   

 Table 75:  MLPPP Bundle Parameters  

 Parameter
 Description

 Name

 Name that identifies the bundle (a maximum of 32 characters)


 Interface Index

 Number that identifies the MLPPP bundle; cannot edit


 Keepalive Timeout (sec)

 Tracks the status of the connection; range 30-300 seconds; zero (0) disables timeout


 Magic Number Enabled

 Randomly generated number used to identify one end of a point-to-point connection


 Selected DS1s

 Select the DS1s to be associated with the MLPPP bundle. Any DS1 that has a partially allocated DS0 bundle or is associated with another bundle is marked with an X and is not available for the MLPPP bundle you are creating.
 NOTE: You must select at least one but not more than eight DS1s.

4. Click OK to save the settings.
