Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers

bundle

To create a multilink interface bundle, use the bundle command in the interface configuration mode. To remove a multilink interface bundle, use the no form of this command.

bundle bundleID

Syntax Description


`bundleID`	ID number of the multilink interface bundle. The bundle ID can be a 9-digit number.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.9.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The bundle command is used in mgmtmultilink controller mode to dynamically create a multilink interface. This command is similar to the channel-group command on the T1 controller, which dynamically creates a serial interface.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
sonet-sdh	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to create a multilink interface with a bundle ID of 1:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller mgmtmultilink 0/1/0/0
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mgmtmultilink)# bundle 1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mgmtmultilink)# commit

Related Commands

Command	Description
multilink	Enters the config-if-multilink submode.
multilink group	Attaches a serial interface to a multilink interface bundle.

controller MgmtMultilink

To configure a controller for a generic multilink bundle and enter MgmtMultilink configuration mode, use the controller MgmtMultilink command in Global Configuration mode . To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.

controller MgmtMultilink interface-path-id

Syntax Description

interface-path-id

Virtual interface.

Note

Use the show interfaces command to see a list of all interfaces currently configured on the router.

For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (? ) online help function.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Global Configuration mode

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.9.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

For the interface-path-id argument, use the following guidelines:

If specifying a physical interface, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/instance. The slash between values is required as part of the notation. An explanation of each component of the naming notation is as follows:
- rack : Chassis number of the rack.
- slot : Physical slot number of the line card.
- module : Module number.
- instance : Number of the controller instance. The instance is always 0.
If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.

interface multilink

To configure a multilink interface and enter multilink interface configuration mode, use the interface multilink command in Global Configuration mode. To delete the interface configuration, use the no form of this command. To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.

interface multilink interface-path-id [.subinterface {l2transport | point-to-point}]

Syntax Description


`interface-path-id` [. `subinterface`]	Physical interface or virtual interface followed by the optional subinterface path ID. Naming notation is `interface-path-id`.`subinterface` .The period in front of the subinterface value is required as part of the notation. For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (? ) online help function.
l2transport	Configures interface to function as one endpoint on a Layer 2 link.
point-to-point	Configures interface to function as one endpoint on a point-to-point link.

Command Default

No interfaces are configured.

Command Modes

Global Configuration mode

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.9.0	This command was introduced.
Release 4.0.0	The `subinterface` argument and the keywords l2transport and point-to-point were introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The subinterface argument and keywords l2transport and po in t-to-point are only applicable if frame relay encapsulation is enabled using the encapsulation frame-relay command.
