To configure the L2TP VPN Server
1. Click VPN in the main menu, and click the VPN Server tab.
The VPN Server page appears.
2. Select the Allow L2TP clients to connect check box.
New check boxes appear.
3. In the Preshared Secret field, type the preshared secret to use for secure
communications between the L2TP clients and the VPN Server.
The secret can contain spaces and special characters. It is used to secure L2TP
connections for all users.
In addition to entering this secret, each L2TP user will have to authenticate with a
username and password.
For information on defining users with VPN access permissions, see Setting Up
Remote VPN Access for Users on page 687.

your internal network without restriction, select the Bypass default firewall
policy check box.

The L2TP VPN Server is enabled for the specified connection types.
