Configuring L2TP
This section describes the procedures for configuring L2TP functions.
- Configuring the LAC to Initiate Call-Triggered L2TP Connections
The LAC functions as a PPPoE server to authenticate call connecting requests from remote users, and initiates L2TP connections to the LNS based on the user information contained in the request packets. - Configuring L2TP Client-Initiated L2TP Connections
Access users do not need to dial up and they can access the L2TP Client in any means. The L2TP Client uses a virtual dial-up interface to initiate PPP sessions and L2TP connection requests to the LNS. - Configuring Other L2TP Functions
L2TP provides some other functions to ensure better L2TP services, such as LCP Renegotiation, AVP Parameter Encryption and Tunnel Authentication. - Verifying the L2TP Configuration
After configurations of other L2TP functions are complete, run the following commands on the LAC or the LNS to view the configurations, tunnel status, and session status.
