MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

Configuring Individual WAN Connections
Configuring MP, MP+ and BACP connections

If a RADIUS profile does not specify Ascend-Maximum-Channels, the default value 

of 1 prevents the client from establishing a multichannel call. 

Figure 4-3 shows the MAX unit connected to a remote Pipeline unit with an MP+ connection. 

To configure an MP+ connection with a remote MAX unit:

Open the Answer profile.

Set PPP and MP+ encapsulation to Yes and specify the appropriate routing, bridging, and 
authentication values. For example:

Ethernet

Answer

Encaps

MPP=Yes

PPP=Yes

PPP Options

Route IP=Yes

Route IPX=No

Bridge=No

Recv Auth=Either

Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.

Open a Connection profile, specify the name of the remote device, and activate the profile. 
For example:

Ethernet

Connections

fiona

Station=fiona

Active=Yes

Select MP+ encapsulation and set the MP+ authentication options. For example:

Ascend-Remove-Seconds 
(241)

Number of seconds for which the ALU must persist below the 
Target-Utilization threshold before the unit subtracts bandwidth.

Ascend-Target-Util (234) Percentage of line utilization (default 70%) to use as a threshold 

when determining when to add or subtract bandwidth.

Ascend-Maximum-Chan
nels (235)

Maximum number of channels available to a multilink PPP 
connection. In this release, MP does not make use this value. 
However, it’s value does apply to MP+ connections.
