L2Tp Over Ipsec Settings - HP PS110 Configuration And Administration Manual

L2TP over IPSec settings

The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a common connection method used for VPN connections. You
can specify the detailed L2TP tunnel settings on the VPN connections page by clicking Add.
You can specify the Keep Alive time, which defines the time period without traffic after which
the PPP session is terminated. For a client tunnel, both host mode and router mode (LAN-to-
LAN) are supported. The tunnel can also be configured to automatically reconnect to the server
when Internet traffic is generated.
The VPN connections page displays when you click Add on the VPN Settings page. From the
VPN connection page you can configure detailed parameters for your L2TP over IPSec VPN
connection. A maximum of five L2TP connections can be defined.
This page includes the following settings:
