L2TP configuration task list
When you configure L2TP, perform the following tasks:
1. Determine the network devices needed according to the networking environment.
{ For NAS-initiated mode and LAC-auto-initiated mode, configure both the LAC and the LNS.
{ For client-initiated mode, you only need to configure the LNS.
2. Configure the devices based on the intended role (LAC or LNS) on the network.
To configure a device as an LAC in NAS-initiated or LAC-auto-initiated mode, complete the following
tasks:
Tasks at a
lance
Remarks
(Required.) Configuring basic L2TP capabilities N/A
Configuring an LAC:
• (Required.) Configuring an LAC to initiate tunneling requests for a user
• (Required.) Specifying LNS IP addresses
• (Optional.) Configuring the source IP address of L2TP tunnel packets
• (Optional.) Enabling transferring AVP data in hidden mode
• (Required.) Configuring AAA authentication on an LAC
• (Required.) Configuring an LAC to automatically establish an L2TP
tunnel
The first and fifth tasks are required
for NAS-initiated mode and
unnecessary for LAC-auto-initiated
mode.
The last task is required for
LAC-auto-initiated mode and
unnecessary for NAS-initiated
mode.
