Command History
Usage Guidelines The l2tp-class l2tp-class-name command allows you to configure an L2TP class template that consists
of configuration settings used by different pseudowire classes. An L2TP class includes the following
configuration settings:
• Host name of local router used during L2TPv3 authentication
• Authentication enabled
• Time interval used to exchange hello packets
• Password used for control channel authentication
• Packet size of receive window
• Retransmission settings for control packets
• Time allowed to set up a control channel
The l2tp-class command enters L2TP class configuration mode, where L2TP control plane parameters
are configured.
You must use the same L2TP class in the pseudowire configuration at both ends of an L2TPv3 control
channel.
Examples The following example shows how to enter L2TP class configuration mode to create an L2TP class
configuration template for the class named ether-pw:
Router(config)# l2tp-class ether-pw
l2tp-class-name (Optional) Name of the L2TP class. The l2tp-class-name argument must be
specified if you want to configure multiple sets of L2TP control parameters.
