remote setl2tpclient

Sample Configurations

Two sample configurations are described in this section:

• A simple configuration. This example describes the information needed to configure one side of the tunnel

(the client side).

• A complete configuration. This example describes the information needed to configure both sides of the

tunnel (client and server sides).

Simple L2TP Client Configuration Example

This example shows how a telecommuter working at home (client side) would configure his/her router SOHO

to tunnel to the company’s LAN (server side).

The information given in the Configuration Process section below provides a framework reference for this

type of L2TP Client configuration.

Assumptions

In this example, the following information is assumed:

• The server side (the company) has an LNS router connected to the Internet.

• The client side has an existing route to the Internet with the remote “internet” (Refer to Note 1, if

you need sample configuration commands).

• IP routing is enabled (Refer to Note 1, if you need sample configuration commands).
