Configuring an MP Group Interface
A Multilink PPP (MP) group interface is used to perform MP binding to increase link bandwidth.
Context
If high bandwidth is required, a single PPP link cannot provide sufficient bandwidth. Multiple PPP links are bound to form an MP link to enhance link bandwidth and reliability.
An MP-Group interface is the dedicated interface in MP. An MP group is created by binding one or more interfaces to an MP-Group interface. An MP-Group interface is applicable to the scenario with dynamic bandwidth requirements.
Pre-configuration Tasks
- Powering on the device and performing self-check
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run interface mp-group number
An MP group interface is created.
- Configure an IP address for an MP-Group interface.
Configure an IP address for an MP-Group interface directly.
Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }
The IP address of the MP-Group interface is configured.
Configure an MP-Group interface with an IP address assigned by the peer device.
Run ip address ppp-negotiate
The local MP-Group interface is configured with an IP address that is assigned by the peer device through PPP negotiation.
