Configuring L2TP Connection Settings
You can implement transparent bridging with ZoneFlex by using L2TP (Layer 2
Tunneling Protocol) tunneling. By tunneling traffic from a ZoneFlex AP to a central-
ized data center, access controllers with policy enforcement software can apply
rules and services. In a typical WLAN implementation, these rules include a captive
portal to authenticate users’ credentials.
In the case of L2TP, the ZoneFlex AP functions as a remote bridge. As such, it
forwards traffic into PPP sessions over the L2TP tunnel. This implementation
ensures that you have complete visibility into MAC addresses of users, as individual
Wi-Fi clients are essentially placed (bridged) onto the ISP’s core network.
