NOTE:
Verify that the IP address of the other end of the tunnel is correctly routed. It should
not be routed through the tunnel itself, but over a physical link.
You may also specify the source IP address for the tunnel as an address other than
the WAN interface IP address, such as the Ethernet IP address.
-> l2tp set ouraddress <ipaddr> <tunnelname>
Our PPP system name and secret/password:
The following commands specify the router’s name and password/secret for
authentication purposes on a per-tunnel basis.
-> l2tp set oursysname <name> <tunnelname>
-> l2tp set ourpassword <password> <tunnelname>
Other commands:
Commands are also available to delete a tunnel, close a tunnel, or set up advanced
L2TP configuration features such as traffic performance fine-tuning (see Chapter 9,
L2TP Commands in the Command Line Interface Guide).
Commands for PPP Session Configuration
Two commands are used to extend a PPP link from a remote site to a corporate site
across the Internet and establish a tunnel. For more information, see “L2TP Tunneling
- Virtual Dial-Up” on page 6-26..
-> remote setlns <tunneltame> <remotename>
-> remote setl2tpclient <tunnelname> <remotename>
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) can 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.
