22. Select OK to save the changes to the session configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
IP Address Specify the IP address used as a tunnel source IP address. If not specified, the tunnel
source IP address is selected automatically based on the tunnel peer IP address. This
address is applicable only for initiating the tunnel. When responding to incoming tunnel
create requests, the tunnel would use the IP address received in the tunnel create
request.
IP Set the IP address of an L2TP tunnel peer. This is the peer allowed to establish the tunnel.
Local Session ID Set the numeric identifier for the tunnel session. This is the pseudowire ID for the session.
This pseudowire ID is sent in session establishment message to the L2TP peer.
MTU Define the session maximum transmission unit (MTU) as the size (in bytes) of the largest
protocol data unit the layer can pass between tunnel peers in this session. A larger MTU
means processing fewer packets for the same amount of data.
Remote Session ID Use the spinner control to set the remote session ID passed in the establishment of the
tunnel session. Assign an ID from 1 - 4,294,967,295.
Encapsulation Select either IP or UDP as the peer encapsulation protocol. The default setting is IP. UDP
uses a simple transmission model without implicit handshakes.
UDP Port If UDP encapsulation is selected, use the spinner control to define the UDP encapsulation
port. This is the port where the L2TP service is running.
Source VLAN Define the VLAN range (1 - 4,094) to include in the tunnel. Tunnel session data includes
VLAN tagged frames.
Native VLAN Select this option to define the native VLAN that will not be tagged.
Cookie Size Set the size of the cookie field within each L2TP data packet. Options include 0, 4 and 8.
The default setting is 0.
Value 1 Set the cookie value first word.
Value 2 Set the cookie value second word.
End Point Define whether the tunnel end point is local or remote.
