Multilink Commands on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router

This module provides command line interface (CLI) commands for configuring multilink interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router.

bundle
controller MgmtMultilink
interface multilink
multilink
multilink fragment
multilink group
show controllers mgmtmultilink
show interfaces multilink
bundle
To create a multilink interface bundle, use the bundle command in the interface configuration mode. To remove a multilink interface bundle, use the no form of this command.

bundle bundleID

Syntax Description

bundleID

ID number of the multilink interface bundle. The bundle ID can be a 9-digit number.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.9.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The bundle command is used in mgmtmultilink controller mode to dynamically create a multilink interface. This command is similar to the channel-group command on the T1 controller, which dynamically creates a serial interface.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a multilink interface with a bundle ID of 1:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller mgmtmultilink 0/1/0/0
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mgmtmultilink)# bundle 1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mgmtmultilink)# commit

Command
Description
multilink

controller MgmtMultilink
To configure a controller for a generic multilink bundle and enter MgmtMultilink configuration mode, use the controller MgmtMultilink command in global configuration mode. To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.

controller MgmtMultilink interface-path-id
no controller MgmtMultilink interface-path-id

Syntax Description

interface-path-id

Note
Use the show interfaces command to see a list of all interfaces currently configured on the router.

For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (?) online help function.

Modification

Release 3.9.0

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

For the interface-path-id argument, use the following guidelines:

If specifying a physical interface, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/instance. The slash between values is required as part of the notation. An explanation of each component of the naming notation is as follows:
rack: Chassis number of the rack.

slot: Physical slot number of the line card.

module: Module number.

instance: Number of the controller instance. The instance is always 0.

If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.

Command
Description
show controllers mgmtmultilink

no interface multilink interface-path-id [ .subinterface { l2transport | point-to-point } ]

Syntax Description

interface-path-id [. subinterface]

Physical interface or virtual interface followed by the optional subinterface path ID. Naming notation is interface-path-id.subinterface.The period in front of the subinterface value is required as part of the notation.

For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (?) online help function.

l2transport

Modification

Release 3.9.0

This command was introduced.

Release 4.0.0

The subinterface argument and the keywords l2transport and point-to-point were introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The subinterface argument and keywords l2transport and po in t-to-point are only applicable if frame relay encapsulation is enabled using the encapsulation frame-relay command.

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-subif)# ipv4 address 10.86.10.48/24
   
The following example shows how to enter interface configuration mode for a multilink bundle with ppp encapsulation. ppp encapsulation is the default encapsulation type:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure terminal
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface multilink 0/3/0/0/1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#ipv4 address 10.86.10.48/24
