Example 9.15. L2TPv3 Server Setup
Assume an L2TPv3 Server object called my_l2tpv3_if is to be set up so that L2TPv3 clients can
connect to it on the If2 interface. The aim is to have the protected network If3_net on the If3
interface accessible to these clients using L2TPv3.
Command-Line Interface
A. First, define the L2TPv3 Server object:
gw-world:/> add Interface L2TPv3Server my_l2tpv3_if
IP=If3_ip
LocalNetwork=If3_net
Interface=If2
ServerIP=If2_ip
B. Next, enable transparent mode on the protected interface If3:
gw-world:/> set Interface Ethernet If3 AutoSwitchRoute=Yes
Web Interface
A. First, define an L2TPv3 Server object:
1. Go to: Network > Interfaces and VPN > L2TPv3 Servers > Add > L2TPv3 Server
2. Now enter:
• Name: my_l2tpv3_if
• Inner IP Address: If3_ip
• Local Network: If3_net
• Outer Interface Filter: If2
• Server IP: If2_ip
3. Click OK
B. Next, enable transparent mode on the protected interface If3:
1. Go to: Network > Interfaces and VPN > Ethernet
2. Select the If3 interface
3. Select the option Enable transparent mode
4. Click OK
The Protocol Property
The L2TPv3 Server configuration object has a Protocol property which defines the transport
method for L2TPv3 communication at a lower protocol level. There are two options available:
