Configure Multilink and Link Services Logical Interface Encapsulation

Multilink and Link Services interfaces support the following logical interface encapsulation types:

• MLPPP
• MLFR End-to-End

By default, the logical interface encapsulation type on multilink interfaces is MLPPP. The default logical interface encapsulation type on link services interfaces is MLFR End-to-End. For more information, see Configure the Encapsulation on a Logical Interface.

You can configure physical interface encapsulation on link services interfaces. For more information, see Configure Link Services Physical Interface Encapsulation.

To configure multilink or link services encapsulation, include the encapsulation statement at the [edit interfaces ml-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number] or [edit interfaces ls-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number] hierarchy level:

encapsulation type; 

You must also configure the T1 or E1 physical interface with the same encapsulation type.
