Configuring software MP
Software MP uses the CPU rather than hardware to fragment and reassemble packets. It is less efficient than hardware MP. This feature is available only for interfaces that support both hardware MP and software MP.
Hardware MP cannot bind different CPOS interfaces on a CPOS E1/T1 subcard. It can only bind synchronous serial interfaces created for channels on the same CPOS interface. To bind synchronous serial interfaces created for channels on different CPOS interfaces, you must configure software MP.
An interface in hardware MP cannot be bound to an interface in software MP. To bind interfaces that support only software MP to interfaces that support both, you must configure software MP on those interfaces in hardware MP.
To configure software MP for an interface:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter sync serial interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Configure software MP for the interface. | ppp mp soft-binding | By default, hardware MP is used. |
