Configuring multilink frame relay
Overview
Multilink frame relay (MFR) is a cost effective bandwidth solution. It is based on the FRF.16 protocol
of the frame relay forum and implemented on DTE/DCE interfaces.
MFR provides MFR interfaces, a type of logical interface. An MFR interface is formed by a bundle of
frame relay physical links to provide high transmission speed and bandwidth beyond the capabilities
of a single link. For the purpose of this document, an MFR interface is called a "bundle" and the
physical links within it are called "bundle links." A bundle manages its bundle links as shown in Figure
33.

An MFR bundle
The bundle links works in the physical layer, and the bundle works in the data link layer.
Configuring a bundle and its bundle links is to configure an MFR interface and its member physical
interfaces.
The functionality and configuration of the MFR interface is the same as that of the FR interface.
Similar to the FR interface, the MFR interface supports DTE and DCE modes, as well as QoS
queuing. After physical interfaces are bundled into an MFR interface, their original network layer and
frame relay link layer parameters are replaced with the parameter settings of the MFR interface.
To reduce overheads and maximize the bandwidth of an MFR interface, assign physical links of the
rate rather than different rates to it.
On an MFR interface you can configure subinterfaces.
Configuring an MFR bundle
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Create an MFR
interface and enter
MFR interface view.
interface mfr
{ interface-number
| interface-number.subnumber
[
p2mp
|
p2p
] }
By default, no MFR interface or
subinterface exists.
Before creating an MFR subinterface,
make sure the specific main MFR
interface already exists.
3. Set the MFR bundle
identifier.
mfr bundle-name
[ name ]
Optional.
The default bundle identifier is MFR +
frame relay bundle number, for
example,
MFR4
.
You cannot set a bundle identifier in the
MFR
number format.
