Configuring Multilink Frame Relay

Multilink Frame Relay (MFR) is a cost-effective bandwidth solution that is based on Frame Relay Forum
Multilink Frame Relay UNI/NNI Implementation Agreement (FRF.16.1). This feature increases bandwidth
by bundling multiple physical links into a logical link.
MFR uses the following concepts:
Bundle—A virtual interface formed by combining multiple physical interfaces. A bundle
•
corresponds to an MFR interface. A bundle is visible to the data link layer.
Bundle link—Corresponds to a physical interface. A bundle contains and manages multiple bundle
•
links, as shown in
Figure 75 Bundle and bundle links
MFR interfaces support DTE and DCE interface types and QoS queuing mechanisms. Physical interfaces
bundled into an MFR interface use the data link and network parameter settings of the MFR interface.
Their original parameters settings do not work.

Configuring an MFR bundle

To maximize bandwidth that can be used, HP recommends that you bundle physical interfaces of the
same speed in one bundle.
To configure an MFR bundle:
Step
Enter system view.
