Cisco IOS Dial Services Commands: LC Through MOD

This chapter explains the function and syntax of the Cisco IOS dial services commands from LC through MOD. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Cisco IOS Dial Services Command Reference, Release 12.1.

lcp renegotiation

To allow the L2TP Network Server (LNS) to renegotiate the Link Control Protocol (LCP) on dial-in calls, using Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or Layer 2 Forwarding ( L2F), use the lcp renegotiation command in VPDN group configuration mode. To remove LCP renegotiation, use the no form of this command.

lcp renegotiation {always | on-mismatch}

no lcp renegotiation

Syntax Description

always

Always renegotiates PPP LCP at the LNS.

on-mismatch

Renegotiates PPP LCP at the LNS only in the event of an LCP mismatch between the LAC and LNS.

limit base-size

To define the base number of simultaneous connections that can be done in a single customer or Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) profile, use the limit base-size command in customer profile configuration mode or VPDN profile configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the limitation.

limit base-size {number | all}

no limit base-size {number | all}

Syntax Description

number

Sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections or sessions that can be used in a specified customer or VPDN profile.

all

Accepts all calls. Use this command if you don't want to limit or apply overflow session counting to a customer or VPDN profile.

limit overflow-size

To define the number of overflow calls granted to one customer or Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) profile, use the limit overflow-size command in customer profile configuration mode or VPDN profile configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the overflow configuration.

limit overflow-size {number | all}

no limit overflow-size {number | all}

Syntax Description

number

Specifies the number of overflow calls.

all

Allows an unlimited number of overflow calls.

line

To identify a specific line for configuration and begin the command in line configuration mode collection mode, use the line command in global configuration mode.

line [aux | console | tty | vty] line-number [ending-line-number]

Syntax Description

aux

(Optional) Auxiliary EIA/TIA-232 DTE port. Must be addressed as relative line 0. The auxiliary port can be used for modem support and asynchronous connections.

console

(Optional) Console terminal line. The console port is DCE.

tty

(Optional) Standard asynchronous line.

vty

(Optional) Virtual terminal for remote console access.

line-number

The relative number of the terminal line (or the first line in a contiguous group) that you want to configure when the line type is specified. Numbering begins with zero.

ending-line-number

(Optional) The relative number of the last line in a contiguous group that you want to configure. If you omit the keyword, then line-number and ending-line-number are absolute rather than relative line numbers.

line-power

To configure the Cisco MC3810 BRI port to supply line power to the terminal equipment (TE), use the line-power command in interface configuration mode. To disable the line power supply, use the no form of this command.

line-power

no line-power

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

link (RLM)

This command is a preference weighted multiple entries command. Within the same server, the link preference is specified in weighting. Use the no form of this command to disable this function.

link {hostname name | address ip-address} source interface weight number

no link {hostname name | address ip-address} source interface weight number

Syntax Description

hostname name

If hostname is used, RLM will look up the DNS server periodically for the hostname configured until lookup is successful or the configuration is removed.

address ip-address

IP address of the link.

source interface

We recommend you use the loopback interface as the source, so that it is independent of the hardware condition. Also, the source interface should be different in every link to avoid falling back to the same routing path. If you intend to use the same routing path for the failover, a single link is sufficient to implement it.

weight number

The higher the weighting number, the higher priority it gets to become the active link. If all entries have the same weighting, all links will be treated equally. There is no preference among servers according to the assumption that only one server will accept the connection requests at any given time. Otherwise, the preference will extend across all servers.

loadsharing

To configure endpoints for load sharing, use the loadsharing command in VPDN group configuration mode. To remove this function, use the no form of this command.

loadsharing ip ip-address [limit number]
