Enabling L2TP tunneling for an entire WAN line
If you want the LAC to create L2TP tunnels for every call received on a specific WAN line:

Enabling L2TP tunneling on a per-user basis
You can configure RADIUS to direct the MAX to create L2TP tunnels for specific users. To do
so, you use three standard RADIUS attributes: Tunnel-Type, Tunnel-Medium-Type, and
Tunnel-Server-Endpoint. Table 10-3 describes them.
Table 10-3.RADIUS attributes for specifying L2TP tunnels
Attribute
Tunnel-Type (64)
Tunnel-Medium-Type (65)
Tunnel-Server-Endpoint (67)
Tunnel-Password (69)
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config > L2 Tunneling Options menu.
For the line for which you are configuring LAC functionality (Line N) , set Line N Tunnel
Type to L2TP. For example, if you want to tunnel all calls received on the first WAN port
(labeled WAN 1 on the MAX back panel), set Line 1 Tunnel Type to L2TP.
Set Route Line N to the IP address of the LNS.
Description
Specifies which tunneling protocol
to use for this connection.
Specifies the protocol type, or
medium, used for this connection.
Currently, the MAX supports IP
only. Future software releases will
support additional medium types.
Specifies the IP address or fully
qualified hostname of the LNS, if
you set Tunnel-Type to L2TP, or
PPTP Network Server (PNS), if
you set Tunnel-Type to PPTP.
Shared secret for authenticating
L2TP tunnels.

Configuring L2TP tunnels for dial-in clients
Possible values
PPTP or L2TP. You must set
this attribute to L2TP to direct
the MAX to create an L2TP
tunnel.
Currently, the only supported
value is IP. You must set this
attribute to IP.
If a DNS server is available,
you can specify the fully
qualified hostname of the
LNS. Otherwise, specify the IP
address of the LNS in dotted
decimal notation (N.N.N.N,
where N is a number from 0 to
255.) You must set this
attribute to an accessible IP
hostname or address.
