Configuring an MPC/MPS

To configure an MPC/MPS, perform the following tasks:

  • Define a name for the MPC/MPS

  • Attach the MPC/MPS to a major interface. This task serves two purposes:

    • Assigns an ATM address to the MPC/MPS.

    • Identifies an endpoint for initiating and terminating MPOA virtual circuits.

  • Bind the MPC/MPS to multiple LECs.

Multiple MPCs/MPSs can run on the same physical interface, each corresponding to a different control ATM address. Once an MPC/MPS is attached to a single interface for its control traffic, it cannot be attached to another interface unless you break the first attachment. The MPC/MPS is attached to a subinterface 0 of the interface.

In Figure 23-2, MPC/MPS 1 is attached to interface 1; MPC/MPS 1 can only use interface 1 to ...
