Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(17)S

No new or modified RFCs are supported by this feature.

Multilink Frame Relay must be configured on the peer device.

See the following sections for configuration tasks for the Multilink Frame Relay feature. Each task in 
the list is identified as either optional or required.

 (optional)

To configure the bundle interface for multilink Frame Relay, use the following commands beginning in 
global configuration mode:

Router(config)# interface mfr interface-number 

Configures a multilink Frame Relay bundle 
interface.

Router(config-if)# frame-relay intf-type dce

Configures a device to function as a DCE. 

Only one end of a link should be configured as a 
DCE. The other end will function as a DTE, which 
is the default setting.

This command can be used only if Frame 
Relay switching has been enabled by 
entering the frame-relay switching 
command in global configuration mode.

Router(config-if)# frame-relay multilink bid name

(Optional) Assigns a bundle identification name to 
a multilink Frame Relay bundle. 

The bundle identification (BID) will not 
go into effect until the interface has gone 
from the down state to the up state. One 
way to bring the interface down and back 
up again is by using the shut and no shut 
commands in interface configuration 
mode.
