The L2TP Configuration link displays a page to configure the
L2TP connections.
Attention: L2TP tunnels have no data encryption mechanism.
The L2TP Configuration page has two pages with the table of
existing L2TP connections on one page and the L2TP server
settings on the other page.
The L2TP Connections page has the following components:
The L2TP Connections table lists all the L2TP connections
characterized by their Connection Name, connection Type
(active or passive), the State of the L2TP connection (Waiting,
Connected, Trying, Disabled or Down) and the Remote IP
address (the IP address or the hostname of the L2TP partner if
connection is active). Each L2TP passive connection can hold
only one L2TP tunnel.
Start is used to enable the selected L2TP server or client
connection(s). Several records may be selected at the same
time with this function.
Stop is used to disable the selected L2TP server or client
connection(s). Stopping the server will disconnect all connected
clients and close the L2TP tunnel. Several records may be
selected at the same time with this function.
Add leads to a page where the connection type (active or
passive) must be selected. Afterwards, the appropriate Add
L2TP Connection page will be displayed where a new L2TP
connection can be established.
The Passive L2TP Connection - Add Entry page is used to
specify passive L2TP server connections.
Client Host Name and Client Password text fields require the
corresponding client's host name and password.
Please Note: The input in the Client Host Name field should
only be in Latin characters, otherwise an error occurs and no
L2TP connection can be created.
In certain cases, Client Host Name can be a conditional
username defined by the client and used for L2TP connection
establishment.
Please Note: All settings on this page should be configured in
the same way on both the L2TP client and server. In other
words, for successful L2TP tunnel establishment, all settings
should match.
The Active L2TP Connection - Add Entry page is used to
specify L2TP client connections and offers the following
components:
The Server Host Name text field requires the L2TP server's
name.
Please Note: The input in the Server Host Name field should
only be in Latin characters, otherwise an error occurs and no
L2TP connection can be created.
The Client Host Password text field requires the local peer
password.
The Server IP text field requires the IP address of the L2TP
server.
Please Note: All settings must be configured the same way
both on the L2TP client and the server hosts. For successful
L2TP tunnel establishment, all settings should match each
other.
