MLP over FR doesn't work after reload

[robert]

Hello,

I'm using MLP over FR on Cisco 2621XM IOS IP Voice 12.3(14)T1. It is a configuration based on this article:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080101210.shtml

In the startup config interface serial0/0.101 is:

interface Serial0/0.101 point-to-point

bandwidth 2000

frame-relay class PVCSBKWarszawa

frame-relay interface-dlci 101 ppp Virtual-Template1

class PVCSBKWarszawa

After router reload interface serial 0/0.101 configuration looks as follow:

interface Serial0/0.101 point-to-point

bandwidth 2000

frame-relay class PVCSBKWarszawa

and on the console I get an error message:

%Virtual-Template1 is not configured to run PPP; DLCI is not set up

class PVCSBKWarszawa

^

Propably after reload MLP checks that Frame Relay DLCI 101 exists. If not the MLP config command are not accepted.

Do you have idea how resovle this problem ?

Hello Robert,

have you tried to configure the command ´encapsulation ppp´ under your virtual interface ? You won´t see it in your config, but AFAIK it is required...

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I do not have 'enc ppp' im my config but I based on cisco example. Maybe it is a good solution - I will try this on monday.

Why do you think it is required to add 'encapsulation ppp'?

Hello Robert,

judging from your error message, the virtual template appears not be running PPP, that is why I think the command might help...
