MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

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

To configure an MP connection without BACP:

Open the Ethernet > Answer profile.

Enable PPP and MP encapsulation and specify the appropriate routing, bridging, and 
authentication values. For example:

Ethernet

Answer

Encaps

PPP=Yes

MP=Yes

PPP Options

Route IP=Yes

Route IPX=Yes

Bridge=Yes

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

fred

Station=fred

Active=Yes

Select MP encapsulation, and open the Encaps Options subprofile.

Configure PPP authentication. For example:

Encaps=MP

Encaps Options

Send Auth=PAP

Send PW=remotepw

Aux Send PW=N/A

Recv PW=localpw

Set the base channel count and maximum channel count. For example, to use two channels 
for this call:

Base Ch Count=2

Max Ch Count=2

Both sides of the connection should specify the same number of channels.

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

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.

If a RADIUS profile does not specify 

Ascend-Maximum-Channels, the default value of 1 prevents the 
client from establishing a multichannel call.
