ppp mp endpoint

Use ppp mp endpoint to configure the endpoint descriptor for LCP negotiation on an interface associated

with a VT interface.

Use undo ppp mp endpoint to restore the default endpoint descriptor.

Syntax

ppp mp endpoint string char-string

undo ppp mp endpoint

Default

If the interface is assigned to an MP group by using the ppp mp mp-group command, the endpoint

descriptor of the interface is the MP group interface name.

If the interface is associated with a virtual template, the endpoint descriptor of the interface is the device

name (configured by the sysname command).

If the endpoint descriptor exceeds 20 bytes, the first 20 bytes are taken as the endpoint descriptor.

Parameters

string char-string: Specifies the endpoint descriptor in the Endpoint option field. The char-string argument

is a string of 1 to 20 characters.

Usage guidelines

This command is valid only for interfaces associated with a virtual template.

In the virtual template approach to MP, an MP endpoint bases its link binding decisions on the remote

endpoint descriptors of links, and assigns the links that receives the same endpoint descriptor to the same

bundle. To avoid incorrect link binding on a virtual template, make sure that the link descriptors used by

different negotiating devices are unique. For example, you must re-configure an endpoint descriptor if the

default endpoint descriptor (device name) cannot uniquely identify the MP bundle at the remote end for

the device.

In the MP-group approach to MP, the negotiating endpoints do not base their binding decisions on the

endpoint descriptor. The endpoint descriptors of the interfaces in an MP-group are always the same as

the MP-group interface name.
